Even if we work with averages, it takes on average 2 years [0] to make it from entry level quant at a hedge fund to senior analyst. Senior analysts make on average $750k/yr [1] in total compensation (primarily bonus based) at a mediocre hedge fund. The expected value after 6 years even at a less than mediocre hedge fund puts you north of a million post-tax. The typical track is 2 years as an analyst @ $200K/year and then 4 years as a senior analyst @ $750k/year. Do the math.
