From the FT today:
"However, what really jumped out was the frankly silly numbers that Jane Street is now offering graduate trainees and interns. Here…for a quantitative research internship in New York, which doesn't even require any finance industry experience. An annualised base salary of $250,000. For an internship.
Where research experience is "a plus"".
But biglaw firms can’t even pay Milbank bonuses although they grind you to dust…smh.

Jane Street interns are orders of magnitude smarter than the vast majority of biglaw associates

How exactly is that different from summer associate gigs...where ur paid annualized salaries for 225000 a year with zero experience in the legal industry

Though, when there ARE bonuses, they ARE sublime

Quants can make 7 figure annual salaries before a lawyer can even graduate from law school. They also often work hours that are more like 8am-6pm and can freely travel on the weekends because work is silent (markets are closed). Remember when people told you it was important to do your math homework?
