Product Management at Quant Funds

Haven’t posted here in years, but anybody have insight into the comp, WLB, and trajectory for Product Managers at HFT companies? Think 2S, Citadel Securities, Jane Street.


There’s not a ton of available information out there in terms of how it matches up to Big Tech. 

Thanks
