I mentioned in the OP its a traditional fund - not a quant shop. I have some professional experience in shipping financial trading applications.

I'm not trying to score a sweet deal here - just trying to understand the market value of someone in my shoes.

My lack of experience (defined in this thread as time I've been working) does not mean there isn't a situation that can't be considered lowball. I'm not trying to maximize my income - just want to have idea and data on the pay floor and ceilings.
