For an experienced quant trader, the number does look very surprising. What is the management's take on this? I am sure they must have given you some reason why the bonus numbers are what they are.

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: iliketopologyThat is what I received for last and this year in US with a front desk job as quant trader and 6 years of experience. I also have a non-compete. Am I lucky to have a job or is it just me?Would you mind giving a few details? I expect you are in a HF? In NYC?...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: amlIt really depends. My guess is ~$180k with 100% bonus if you have a couple of years experience.aml: This seems rather high. Many Hedge funds are bonus driven. So the base is rather low. But even on the sell side, $180K seems high. I know for a fact that second year a...

<t>Many of the big BBs have increase base pay significantly in the past year or so. While the cynical may feel that this has to do with the big hullabaloo about bonuses, I believe it has to do with the fact all these banks are run by soft hearted, altruistic and generous CEOs who want nothing but th...

Nobody?

Anyone know what the AUM of some of the popular Quant HFs are? Say Tower, Two Sigma, WorldQuant, etc.

As we all know, size doesn't matter -- except when it comes to hedge fund AUMs What is the "usual" AUM for stat arb funds? Would a fund with, say, around 200MM be "large" or "small"?

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: ceticoOther pretty bad signs:- increase in the number of HHs calling you "just to check how things are going" i.e. without anything concrete to offer you- increase in the number of people clearly overqualified for the roles they were hired for- reduction, adoption of 'c...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: nicka81Yes, non-competes are common. Usual duration is half a year or a year; shorter non-competes are useless, longer non-competes are very hard to enforce.Thanks Nicka. Would you know how these work? In other words, say you have a 1 year non-compete and you want to le...
