Quant HF - How Much Should Entry PhD Quant Expect To Be Paid??

Hello,

Central question out of my curiosity: how much quant research positions at quant firms like DE Shaw / Citadel / Two Sigma pay, for fresh PhD? In terms of base and guaranteed bonus (not signing bonus) this year?Speed Test essay writer

I'm excluding signing bonus because Citadel is so famous for that.
