Hi,
I'm currently working for a large internet company and was recently contacted by some headhunter and started interviewing for Core Operations Engineer position at large HFT company.
I'm wondering does anyone have any insight into compensation of Developers and Quants in HFT industry, both relative to each other and in absolute terms.
I currently make around 450K total and it seems this wasn't a problem when I mentioned it during the interview but I need some more datapoints if we get into real negotiations (i.e. if they just over 10-20% increase over my current comp, that wouldn't really be interesting to me at all).
