His brother briefly worked at Jane Street. Right out of college he made $300k, next year $600k - his bosses liked his perf and said he'd be on track to make $5-7M per year if he stayed on for another 2-4 years.

Supposedly he still felt inadequate and hated his life...

I’m now considered probably in the top percentile of earners for my country. But I do remember struggling to make ends meet on my 16k a year first tech job out of university. I find it hard sometimes to relate to tech workers in these forums sometimes. And yes I’m in the west.

[jwilber]

While many western tech salaries are high, the salary in discussion is a result of nepotism, not merit.

Those numbers are surprising. Do you have a source for them?

[Atotalnoob]

That is typical for Jane Street and other quant firms.

They pay like crazy, if you are good, you make bank.

If not, they fire you

[nequo]

But do you have a source for the $5mn/year salary? I have never heard such figures anywhere for JS four or five years out of college.

co-worker who worked with SBF's brother while at Jane Street.

[wakefulsales]

that's insane, 5-7mm?

I mean, there are probably metrics that show he made Jane Street a considerable multiple of that via his trades.
