Jane Street does much better at retention than Citadel and probably many other quant firms. The performance bar is definitely higher than the average at Google but it's not like there is no WLB either.

Because they are more selective about fit to begin with I wouldn't be surprised if JS has better yearly retention than most FAANGs. People seem to hop between different big tech cos quite a bit (pre hiring freezes anyway).

I do not see a way to compare big tech companies and Jane Street or Citadel, seeing as how the big tech companies employ many tens of thousands of very qualified people and Jane Street and Citadel are a couple thousand max.
Yeah there are a lot of differences, I wouldn't normally bring up the comparison. My point was just that the turnover is not as bad as the other commenter was implying.
