Great Wlb, Lower Pay
Junior Developer • Current Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
July 19, 2022
Pros: The company has fantastic work-life balance, a supportive culture, and great people, benefits—really everything.
Cons: The pay compared to other trading firms is a little lower.
This is still a great place to work, especially at the junior level, but you won't get the extremely outsized compensation you see at certain top-tier trading firms.
