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 know more than one person who made more than $500,000 as a new grad, so it's not completely unreasonable. Most of that will be RSUs/cash bonus though, so not counted as part of H1B salary data as I understand it.

- it depends where you live

- how tight that job market is

- and with inflation these days, probably 2x that.

Bit of a rant, but many things I buy are 40% more than a year ago, some are 100%, yes double the price. That means aalaries should follow the same metric.

There is a huge hype machine on the internet where people want to believe there there are crazy high salaries in other companies. Even though they don't know anyone who works there, interviewed or otherwise even bothered to look into some actual evedence. I have had interviews with citadel and know people whose have roles with that title. Total comp is slightly below what a comparable person would make at Google or F…

This is false, citadel is top of market. Google doesn’t pay that well

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

What values could reasonably be both an annual salary and an hourly wage in the US, where this data is from? While of course mixing annual and hourly is bad practice and makes sorting pretty useless, it shouldn’t be difficult to distinguish the two if one is so inclined. I imagine there’s a very clear gap in that sorted sequence where the hourly values transition to annual. Take 20,000. As an annual salary you’d be l…

If I sort. Atleast on mobile. How do I figure out the lowest annual salary? I can’t. I don’t understand how anyone can defend this data. Either collect and provide good data or don’t bother at all.

I think it's the other way around, actually. I think a lot of people, especially in Europe, have FOMO about the salaries in the United States. One of their coping mechanisms is to try to convince themselves that everyone is lying about their salaries.
