how much does Optiver pay for 5-7YoE in Ams then? I heard their grad TC was already higher than 230?

This is normal for IMC, not for the industry. My friend sent out applications everywhere recently, and IMC was the only one where she got lowballed, i.e., with 6 YOE dev, everywhere she applied in Europe would consider her for $600k min TC, but IMC straight up said $250k first year and that it gets "better" in the years after. She obviously did not continue talking to them.

Is this accurate? I heard Sydney SIG lost a bunch of devs so their grad TC is higher than Optiver now, u/sumwheresumtime thoughts?

… 5 yrs hf dev here just 100k TC lol

2x'd my TC plus a 100k euro sign on bonus. Medium sized firm.

Could you share what your ballpark expectations of TC are for a 5+ year Senior software engineer in IMC Sydney would be this year?

5-7 YOE Dev at IMC Trading Europe on 230k TC.
Is this very low for my experience in the trading industry on a front office role? I know US pays more but after interacting with both tech companies and finance recruiters, it looks like I am below market by 2-3x
Is this the case? Performance review always came good.

Msg me if you want to talk about the TC. I went through it all.

Hi! I'll be starting at MIT next month as a freshman. Thinking of studying CS. I don't come from a competition math background, more so a robotics background (ie. Robotics team, internship, etc.). Before this summer, I was planning to try to get jobs at FAANG or good robotics labs but I've only more recently began looking into quant. I love math and love programming and so I feel like maybe it could be a career I'd enjoy, but I was hesitant due to the obvious: its notoriously hard to get a job as a QT or QR. But now that I've done some digging, I learned there are a lot more firms than I thought there were. I only really knew art Tier 1 firms like JS. It seems like base salary and TC at these smaller firms are still high (200k+) as a new grad. I still have apprehension about targeting quant because god knows whether I'm delusional into thinking I could crack quant or not. Do you guys think I could target SWE/robotics for freshman year while I build up my quant knowledge and then try to target both SWE and QT or QR for my sophomore, junior, and senior year summers? In my head, quant could be my target/reach career and SWE/robotics could be my backup in case I don't have luck. Am I delusional lol? I know I don't have competition math experience, but I imagine I'm going to school at the best place to learn all the math and probability I'll need to know. Is this a reasonable mindset or not? Seeking advice from people in the industry/trying to break in because you guys will probably have a better idea than me. Thank you
