FYI I don't have offers from all these places. I realistically can't interview with all of these places, either. (I have more than one team that I'm/will be talking to for all of them) So I'd like to ask here, which one should I put the most time/effort to prep for the interviews to make a possibly large TC jump? It's all for SWE role, quantitative, close to the trading/portfolio mgnt/risk analytics/etc. 1) Millennium 2) BlackRock 3) Goldman Sachs (Strat) 4) Bloomberg PS. I have a history with Citadel and TS. Not including them here for a reason that I can't share... (facepalm) Hopefully next time. Thanks! TC 170k YOE 5 #millenniummanagement #blackrock #goldmansachs #bloomberg
Bloomberg seems to be misunderstood. You should think Bloomberg more like preparing for a tech company say Microsoft, LinkedIn etc. which some consider a tier below FANG. If you are good at algorithms, with your YOE, offer can go as high as 350k AFAIK.
Mind sharing your experience and the interview process? How to prepare for interviews?
Skip Millenium. I’ve worked with folks from there and the ICs were happy to get out. A mgmt person did well for himself but caused a tech exodus in his next role.
