There are several top players in the UK. JS/CitSec/Tower/Jump/Quadrature/some smaller ones. Pay could be from FAANG+epsilon to some really high numbers. Expect a base in the range of 100-150K GBP + bonus which sometimes is <= 100%, and sometimes could be orders of magnitude higher than the base.
Is it the same for Dutch-based companies, IMC/Optiver/Flow?
I'm not familiar with them. But afaik the last two have pretty much a corporate structure with "levels", where each level has a defined range. So, there is little uncertainty from what I know.
