His brother briefly worked at Jane Street. Right out of college he made $300k, next year $600k - his bosses liked his perf and said he'd be on track to make $5-7M per year if he stayed on for another 2-4 years.
Supposedly he still felt inadequate and hated his life...
- nequo 3y agoThose numbers are surprising. Do you have a source for them?
- Atotalnoob 3y agoThat is typical for Jane Street and other quant firms. They pay like crazy, if you are good, you make bank. If not, they fire you
- ionwake 3y agoI’m now considered probably in the top percentile of earners for my country. But I do remember struggling to make ends meet on my 16k a year first tech job out of university. I find it hard sometimes to relate to tech workers in these forums sometimes. And yes I’m in the west.
- jwilber 3y agoWhile many western tech salaries are high, the salary in discussion is a result of nepotism, not merit.
- wakefulsales 3y agothat's insane, 5-7mm?
- HWR_14 3y agoI mean, there are probably metrics that show he made Jane Street a considerable multiple of that via his trades.
