The demand for quantitative professionals is growing each year, and talent shortages are at an all-time high. Financial firms are not only competing for experts who can accurately forecast market movements, optimize strategies, and manage risks to secure a competitive advantage, but these skills are becoming highly sought after in other industries as well.
Whether you are a hiring manager aiming to offer competitive compensation to attract top quant talent, or a professional looking to compare your current salary and bonus against the market, Selby Jennings is here to support you with essential information so you can make well-informed decisions.
โ Our salary guide provides a comprehensive overview of the compensation landscape for quantitative analytics, research & trading in the USA, Europe, and APAC. Although this yearโs bonus season wasnโt as strong as last year for quants in the USA, firms are staying competitive by adjusting other aspects of their compensation like base salaries, guarantees, and performance accelerators. According to Tyler Robinson, Director at Selby Jennings, "In New York, minimum salaries for a junior quant have moved from around $150k towards $175 - $200k. A growing number of firms are also offering two-year guarantees, with visibility of two years of compensation instead of one, to win over candidates and retain them for longer."โ |  โ |
