T1 in terms of TC and prestige and career/exit ops. Currently my list is Jane Street, Jump, HRT, Citadel, Two Sigma, Renaissance (impossible), DE Shaw. T2 imo is: SIG, Optiver, Virtu. Thoughts? Just trying to come up with a comprehensive list to prepare for new grad applications.
DE Shaw is T2
That is certainly not true
Add Five Rings Trading and PDT Partners to T1
Two Sigma isnt having a good year lots of exit or so I have heard. Btw two sigma doesnt pay significantly more than G/Fb whereas the other t1 pay significantly more than G/Fb
Ts similar wlb with google. Similar pay. No equity cliff
What is TS wlb like?
TGS is t0/t1 but not many have heard of em
I’m able to get interviews at FAANGs and other “top tech companies” (passing them is another story...) Two Sigma, Citadel, etc. won’t even give me the time of day, even going through third party recruiters.
I would add Ansatz, Point72, Akuna, DRW, IMC as well. Unsure about Domeyard, Valkyrie.
"prestige" I think we know which country op is from
I’d switch optiver with 2sig.
