How much do software engineers at hedge funds make. Obviously it varies but rough range would be helpful.

As you said, it’s a huge range, depending on the type of fund, city, and level of skill of the engineer. US$200-600k would cover most cases.

Hedge funds pay more than FAANGs at the top.

I think software engineers in general have a massive range. There are guys getting 80k working for defense contractors after a few years and barely touching 100k after 5. Meanwhile a few years into a hedge fund could get you 150k, or 200k total comp.

If you’re on the quantitative strategy or HFT engineering side im thinking thats where you may see those total salaries reaching into the 3s and 4s, stacking up with FAANG.

I dont think many front office guys in ex post analytics and data engineering make 600k or anything close to it without having some serious leverage in negotiation..

Its unfortunately really hard to negotiate salary when you had no clue what to ask for, and the insane ranges don’t help anybody.

£120k 2y exp, not in London.

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
