I was offered significantly more money from a non-FAANG than any of my (three) FAANG offers were willing to give me, with better liquidity. At the end of the day, that's all I cared about. I'm very happy with where I landed, and have no plans to leave in the near future. My present company has an academic engineering culture that prioritizes outcomes over process, while encouraging curiosity and autonomy.

Was it from a unicorn?

Hard to get good liquidity from a unicorn. The description sounds like trading to me.

Yes, the GP username is also a hint!

No it isn't, I just like calculus/analysis. I don't work in trading, my job is developing simulations in operations research.
