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.

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.
