IB exit to HF, low ball offer
I’m a 2nd year monkey at a mid tier IB as a strat developing algo strategies. Recently got an offer to join a small HF (4B, 50 ppl) to do similar stuff. I’d say I can learn a lot from the PMs and will definitely have a lot to work on in the next few years. Great growth opportunity, just the pay is a little lower than expected. I’m guessing because I came from an IB background. So If I may ask, 1) what’s the avg base nowadays for a junior researcher at smaller HF? 2) for guaranteed bonus? 3) what % do you expect to get on top of guaranteed
Thanks everyone in advance
Base is 125-150. HFs don't offer guarantees to juniors. There is no on top of ex coinvest. Maybe you should post your comp so we have context otherwise these are vague meaningless questions.
Thanks for the response! I will update in the main post
To be more specific on the offer.. somewhere between 120k-140k with a guaranteed of 25%
those numbers seem low...doesn't citadel pay 300k+ for quants these days?
Did you accept, was this the only shop you got interest from? If so network and prepare to move on after if you don’t like the shop or don’t see any advancement opps.
