Shit my bad bro. Must suck to go to an ass non target and work at an ass bank. Have fun making 85k year until 2030 u bumfuck piece of shit

 

I'll include HFT in here as well as it's pretty much adjacent to "Tech" and anyone recruiting for SWE will also recruit for HFT.

Comp (first 2-3 years):

HFT > SWE > IB

(also keep in mind that if you're doing SWE/HFT and you're good, you'll earn ~100k from internships alone, before graduation)

Comp (after 2-3 years):

HFT >= IB > SWE

Hiring bar:

HFT quant > IB > HFT dev > Unicorns > FANG > ... > Amazon

Prestige:

IB > HFT > FAANG
