Blind is full of people from big tech, I see very few people talking about hedge funds/HFT/prop trading firms. Is anyone else here a quant dev/SWE in finance just looking at the hiring freezes and stock plummets in Silicon Valley while eating popcorn and awaiting bonus day after their fund has made high double-digit returns this year? I'm at Citadel currently and I keep overhearing interviews with Meta people wanting to jump ship lol TC 500 Yoe 3
They're too busy working to be on Blind
I hate this tech culture of wanting to work the least as possible - in your mid 20s isn't it good to be pushed to work hard and achieve more? Either way, the Citadel WLB meme is not actually in reality as bad as people think.
what’s your TC split like 50/50 salary/bonus? such a ballin tc for 3yoe (i know it’s a grind though)
Yeah my base/bonus is about 50/50 at this point though the ratio quickly changes to be more bonus-heavy as you progress
We're doing great. Thanks for the volatility Tech!
My company's stock price doubled I think durring COVID
I’m watching the stock plummet and waiting for the year I get my 7 figure bonus so I can lose it in stocks.

How’s your WLB at Citadel?
Pretty good. Get in at 10am, leave at 7pm. Nobody calls me out of hours. Never work weekends.
