Based on the most helpful WSO content, specific compensation details for central book quants at top funds aren't explicitly outlined in the provided context. However, general insights into quant compensation at top firms suggest that first-year compensation for quants can range from $250k to $400k, depending on the firm. For example:
While these figures are for general quant roles, central book quants may have slightly different structures depending on their direct impact on PnL and firm-specific policies. If you're in a role directly driving PnL, there could be higher upside potential, but this varies significantly by firm and team performance.
For more precise numbers, it might be worth exploring specific threads or reaching out to professionals in the field.

Central book quant pay isn’t exact, but top firms like Citadel and Two Sigma offer $250k–$400k in year one. Higher pay is possible if you're directly driving profits.
Thank you for the data point! Was wondering if you happen to know comp ranges for 7-10 yoe in the role?
Variance increases each year of your career. After 10 yoe you could be anywhere between 250k to 5 million, it depends on so many factors we can't possibly guess what you'll see.
