Jump Trading

People are very nice, and the company genuinely cares about its employees. I have had two managers during my time at Jump, and felt like both cared about my career ambitions, professional interests, and personal circumstances. This is a direct result of how well the owners, CEO, etc., treat people around them.

Very good compensation. You don't need to focus on "selling" your impact like in big tech companies, as managers tend to be much more technical, and this reflects in compensation if you do well.

Good WLB in the sense that you get to pick your balance. Some firms in this industry are known for horrible WLB. As long as you do good work, you can work a very reasonable 40-hour week at Jump, or more if you want to rake in more money. The point being, it's your call.

Some very, very talented people to learn from. Jump has some good teams with high-performance C++ work, if that's your thing.

Good COVID response.
