For example, Two Sigma is listed as over $80/hour because of one salary, but in reality, most interns will not get that (there was a bidding war for the person with said offer). I also think I was in the absolute last wave of on-site intern interviews, so honestly I'm not going to lie there's a fair amount of luck involved in the process.

The cover letter basically said "My school requires me to do to a summer internship. Looks like a good big chunk of these companies are silicon valley. Give the recruiter a reason to want to call you. Do note that this graph only shows salary data averaged across each company. I definitely agree. Since there's a lot of luck involved with applications, I'd advise on not getting your hopes up/focusing too much on a few companies. As others have mentioned, this is for a very small subset of new hires. I went to a semi-target state school, majored in Econ, did very well within my major (and took lots of econometrics) and got an offer at a pretty good prop shop. Ace the interview and you're in. When most internships in the US pay more than your grad job in Europe :(. 200k might also be a bit high for most new hires. these offers like at 2sigma, Jane street, citadel, DE Shaw, etc. This was originally posted earlier under a different title, but I re-uploaded it after fixing a few things. The 200k base is definitely a little high (and also not a normal offer--more like what you'd expect for someone negotiating with multiple offers in hand) but in order for 2S to remain competitive in the market for skilled entry level hires against big tech and quantitative hedge funds, they need to pay a lot.

Yes, in retrospect, I definitely should have done this. Firms are moreso open to negotiating first year minimum bonus and signing and quite hesitant to negotiate base. I've asked a few people what I should do to get a job of this caliber and they usually only say, "be good at programming, have a good gpa, know the right people..." but is that it? I was fortunate to get offers from both ends of the spectrum, one at Citadel and one at Northrop Grumman.

Two Sigma, of course, has fewer of the traditional tech perks (no free food, no transit, no work outing stipends or miscellany), but it appears that the work at 2s is more technically challenging and will serve to be more interesting, even if it is applied to finance Turnover is very low. It's evident that more people will get and accept an offer from Northrop than Citadel. If you are unsure of why something seems off, I would advise looking at the raw data below, since the graph was constructed from whatever is listed. No need to discourage people. Great point. I agree that it's not for everyone, and you need to have a certain skillset to be able to work there. Getting a job or internship isn't a completely random crapshoot. Are you currently studying maths as well? Of course you have to be smart, but I think it's a mix of intelligence, discipline/willingness to put in work, and character (People want to feel like you'll fit into the company culture and you're not a complete weirdo). I am wondering if i could get a chance in later years. I participated in Math comps, but never placed highly. Wow. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Luck is also a big factor. Most of the positions are either quant researcher, quant dev or just software engineer. I typically see quant researchers with a strong math background. Contrast that with Uber where their interviewer missed the interview and they never rescheduled me. matplotlib was used to plot the data.

A free inside look at Two Sigma intern salary trends based on 25 intern salaries wages for 10 jobs at Two Sigma. It means a lot more than that. But the bottom line is these firms don't just hire geniuses. Certainly a good followup idea (although it would require a lot more parsing as well).

I've only seen Jane Street offer 200k base for new grads. edit: what u/dancforever and u/ParadigmaticThinker say is also very true. That's how you get the ~400k all in offers first year as I have seen signing go as high as 175k. However, I would say that it's not necessarily the salaries themselves that are unrepresentative but rather the number of salaries per specific companies. e.g. Also, 200k base salary is very high. Attend the on-site and do well enough there too. Still twice as much as I'm making at my current job. As far as how compensation compares at one of these tier 1.5 type places, I doubt I'll make $200k my first year but we do get six figure bases and solid bonuses, with the opportunity to grow the latter substantially over time. That's why I wanted to focus on the salary amount versus the salary distribution for this visualization. exist, and they’re amazing, but no regular student can achieve that. I don't exactly know what is required for quant roles / the type of interview questions they ask, but for software engineering, it's mainly LeetCode type questions. Anyway cool visualization regardless, Agree. That's a good point, but I also see a lot of people doing the opposite and applying for 500+ positions.

Granted, I'm also in a similar position as /u/wolframhead where I'll be joining as a trader.

I don't care what I do but ideally I want to get paid." Dude, if you can get into Stanford you're most likely not a regular Joe. As someone who's been on-site with one of the aforementioned companies, the interview process is rather challenging and will be especially so if you haven't had experience with interviewing at a high level or competitive programming. How long ago was that? you don’t need to spend all or any of your housing stipend on housing).

The problem I did was actually much easier than the HackerRank. If you have a good GPA and a good resume then getting an interview won't be too difficult. I don't think there's anything special in terms of preparation from the companies you mentioned compared to other large successful companies.
