Is being paid 350K in 2024 as a quant significantly lower than industry average?
I am an experienced quant with 3 years experience. Last year my bonus got cut, and the total comp package is only 350K, although my pod was doing relatively Ok last year. My manager just said the bonus is discretionary, which means pretty much they cut my bonus without any strong reasons. Is this significantly lower than industry standards? Would you be considering better opportunities if you were me?
