Hi guys. I am currently a high school student who is interning at KPMG and I hope to get into quant trading as my career. I am from outside of the states and I was wondering if you guys could give me an idea of the expected salaries in the states so that I can compare it to my home country please. This will greatly aid me in my college decision!!! Thank you so much

In the states, it depends on your location and level of education. With a bachelors in CS/math/engineering and in a major trading hub (Chicago, NYC) you would have a base salary in the upper five figures/possibly low six, going up further if you get advanced degrees like a masters or PhD. If you land in a role with PnL responsibility then you can also get a cut of that as part of total compensation.

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

Hi guys,

I need genuine suggestions. I was holding offer from IBM and Wipro & now have got a good offer from a mid size organization.
I want to negotiate with IBM and Wipro & join any of these two.

Do these companies negotiate? When & how should I start negotiation with them ?

I would like to talk professionally so that they provide me a matching CTC or in case, they can't at least they don't block me for future openings.

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.
