This is happening a lot more often than you would think. Market making desks, prop shops, quant hedge funds in particular are all starting to look like tech firms, hiring engineers/devs, investing heavily in tech stack, etc.

Your base pay will likely not get a huge bump at this level in your career, but bonus potential and future earnings will be higher, especially if you end up in a position with PnL responsibility.

I was in bulge bracket equities tech and made my way into quant/systematic trading through a few lateral hops. It took a few years and wasn’t easy but I’m happy with where I landed. Good luck!
