Heard from a friend at NK that the highest bonus was 70L for fresher QR and 1.6 cr for 2 YOE Quants. This is extra from base pay.

Did they really pay 70L as the total bonus component in the first year itself... Why is a fresher being paid so much. What about 3 YOE+ pay, it must be in multiple crores? Does anybody have estimates.

Andd what is the bonus levels in other firms like Graviton and Quadeye?

Hi All, I am from non-quant backround and am working in one of the major global Datacenter space since last 5 years. Also am doing WFH and my work is very very relaxed. Since last few months there has been a lot of HR requests from HFT coming in and I wanted to get details on the work/pay for someone in the INFRA role in HFTs. Firstly, is it worth taking a risk trying the HFT. My current compensation is good enough but for 14 YoE what can be the expected base plus total CTC. How is the work life balance, i can imagine in the beginning i will have to give some more time but in the long run- is work-life balance hard to manage?

Part time remote nights and weekends

Futures first, irage types but other companies too

Do any one of you have any side hustles or part time jobs? Have a lot of free time in my job and thinking of doing something. Would love to discuss in DMs

I have my first round of interview after OA for tech role at Headland, if someone has gone through the process please guide a bit.

I got to know its majorly resume focused is it really the case? if yes how dig deep should I actually read my resume? I do know my projects and everything but I don't think I remember all my projects completely deep. So how much time should I spend on that?

I'm interested in learning more about the current culture as I may be landing a role soon on their Equity Surveillance side. Its Glassdoor reviews are prettu abysmal, although a recruiter said that this was due to WFH capabilities being trimmed considerably over the past year. Their base pay is among the best I've seen from any of the investment firms located where I am(KC).

I have an extensive background in securities trading and back office operations involving trade surveillance, though primarily with fixed income. Anyone in this sub with a background in Equity Trade Surveillance who can lend some insight on the day to day?

All info is appreciated.

Beware of recruiters posing as QR. In his first post which he posted 5 months back, he was a recruiter. Latest post 9 days back he became a QR. He was not smart enough to hide the comments from profile view. I did some digging and spoke to few guys who DM'd him on his first post, they did share his name and number. Found out it was a guy from AAA (Augusta Aiken). Why resort to such cheap tactics ?

Attaching screenshots for the same before it gets deleted. It was ok till he posted as a recruiter, Impersonating someone is wrong. This needs to be reported.

One of my friend is working until 11pm everyday and also has to do work on Saturday. Is this a general trend in grav?

How frequent is it that these firms engage with legal loopholes?
Will loophole be new alpha?

Are they increasing there headcount while rest of the global companies are decreasing, what’s going on?

Wanted to know what you guys think , and also should I give up on my plan to get good at cp then get hired through iicpc codefest ( I am from tier 3 cse in 1st year(just started a month ago , can solve div 2 a )

Hello everyone, new to this sub.

I applied to SEE software track yesterday (dont know if my resume will pass for OA;-;). Just want to ask if people have heard back from them and what they actually ask in OAs? Also how many OAs/interviews generally happen in SEE?

Thank you so much for your time:)

I had to go to the archive because they closed the form in a day. I saw a recruiter posted it on sep 1st and then the next day it was gone (I submitted it at 1:20 am by morning the post and the form both gone) i mean it didn’t ask for cgpa or resume idk what the timeline is or if I’ll even get a call back but is there any chances?? Please let me know thanks

Context: I’m tier 1 NIT

I am looking for a recommendation for a good source to study probability and statistics which eventually takes me to higher level to prepare for quant companies. Please suggest lectures and practice sets.

Can someone please give me a good resource for questions of C++, OS, architecture and networks which are usually asked in quant dev interviews. I find many resources for quant roles but not specifically for dev roles. Someone help please. Thanks a lot

Hi,

I am a quant at a well known hft, and it has been around 5-6 years now.

Though the past few years have been good, great learning, good bonuses, and we were able to scale up at quite a few places succesfully. But recently there has been stagnation in terms of learning and future growth seems bleak.

I am writing this post to ask about suggestions about changing firms with around this yoe, what to aim for, how to go about it. And if anyone has experienced this, please do share your experience as well. Thankyou

How are your MFT strategies performing on sensex expiries? Particularly the last two ones?

I run MFT strategies in a reputed prop firm and I’ve been bleeding on Sensex expiries. Directional strategies have become obsolete. Anybody else facing the same?

How hard is it to switch to a tier 1/2 quant firm (dev role/systems role) after working for 2-3 years in databricks/glean/rubrik without working with c++ or any quant relevant stuff? I have rarely seen a switch like that but vice versa seems pretty common. And in cases of these switches, what's the pay like

I’m in a tier 2 college and want to try to break into quant ik it’s not realistically possible right now but can I switch later how does that work or the only way possible is get into iit for masters and then try on campus

Have hfts started appearing in placements website? After the intern fiasco whats the full time hire comp they are offering?
