- lordnacho 9y agoI'd put it like this, the bulk of positions are around what I quoted. That's for senior people who aren't managing large teams, just run-of-the-mill squaddies. There's also a few jobs where the pay is unlimited. Typically you need a track record but you'll also get a cut of the profits. And then there's management, which is another level as well.
- dogruck 9y agoYeah, I think that’s accurate. I made the remark primarily because the article discusses career trajectory as one of the motivations for emphasizing the combination of “traders who code.” In essence, they’re advertising that your pay won’t get capped out at the level of “a very good programmer.” Instead, the cap will the higher number of “a very good trader.”
