ok, citadel, totally believable salaries here. is this a typo? theres a zero missing. Quantitative Research Lead CITADEL SECURITIES AMERICAS SERVICES LLC US$55058.00 US$55058.00 1 Quantitative Researcher Citadel Securities Americas LLC US$67288.00 US$67288.00 1 Quantitative Researcher Citadel Securities Americas Services LLC US$67288.00 US$67288.00 1

It's just one position, not an average. There are other positions with the same title with higher salaries. Quantitative Research can be anything, basically just an Excel inputer could be called that. I think salary expectations on HN, in tech and in the US are a bit off. Do you really believe someone crunching numbers is worth USD 600000 per year?

I think a lot of the comments where people casually dismiss salaries in the hundreds of thousands a year as too low are just attempts at flexing.

This stat likely includes just base salary and not stock compensation.

This seems useless. Sorting has 360k down to $7. Either make it hourly wage or yearly salary. Both in 1 is confusing.

Not useless to me. While more preprocessing would be welcome you can easily distinguish annual, daily, hourly compensation yourself.

No you can’t. A day wage can be hourly for some. The table shows a mix of values that are meaningless.

Then you can just look at the annual ones. Anything over 75k is more than safe to say is annual. I only go that high because it seems like you need certainty that it is not quarterly or bi-annual.

I view it more as an observation on compensation compared to value their labor brings to the employer’s bottom line.

There's some middle ground. People's salaries charted over time compared to CEO pay, productivity numbers, purchasing power, or inflation, etc, have degraded pretty badly over time.
