Who pays the most?
- coopierez 5y agoProp trading firms pay more, I don't know if they pay the _most_ however.
- smabie 5y agoFor front office work, they definitely do pay the most.
- eru 5y agoThough not necessarily per hour. (Ok, probably still per hour. But hours can be quite long.)
- MichaelZuo 5y agoA super genius could most likely bargain for a pay/bonus cut and 40 hour weeks for 7 figures easily after a few years of demonstrated performance.
- eru 5y agoYes. Though a super genius also gets special treatment at eg Google and other places. So it's hard to say anything general about their compensation.
- MichaelZuo 5y agoWell it’s a sliding scale sort of thing right. A regular ole’ genius could probably negotiate the same for high six figures.
- eru 5y agoI've worked for Google, Goldman Sachs, a few others, and now for a prop market maker. I'd say I'm at best a regular ole' genius, and I can confirm that you can negotiate quite a lot. Especially when taking a new job, and especially if you arrange for having multiple offers. Negotiating while already on the job faces quite a lot more headwind.
- myvoiceismypass 5y agoNetflix pays top of market for Silicon Valley _and_ readjusts your comp (100% cash based) every year to be top of market again.
- ridaj 5y agoDo they readjust down when the market goes down?
