Yes, I’m familiar with fintech. Also, with its tendency to see staff as fungible when optimizing for costs. After all, all those eng types are the same, right?

They’re not talking about fintech.. Quant shops write algorithms to trade the stock market and the salaries are more akin to Wall St. Very different than a company like Robinhood

Useless in any discussion about the tech industry as they are an extreme outlier
