Optiver Institutional Trading

Comparison of Optiver, IMC and Flow Traders
How would these three firms rank in comparison to each other in Europe and what is their outlook - I know that IMC's profits declined in 2017 compared to 2016 and so did Flow Traders (not sure about Optiver) but Flow Traders apparently had their best quarter ever in Q1 of 2018 but how sustainable is...

Optiver Salaries
I was wondering what a software developer would typically be making at Optiver ? The data on Glassdoor is all over the place (anywhere between $80K and $140K) so it's sort of hard to tell what would be the average compensation there. What would be a mid-level developer be making at a place like...

There are plenty of Optiver threads on this board, but I've not seen any on their wholesale trading position.
