Yeah, to be fair.. the people I know from Wall St tech that left for Amazon were not the best tech people I knew. The best tech people would have found more well compensated roles within Wall St tech.

Generally a mix of people who exhausted other paths to higher compensation by their mid 30s - mid 40s (senior management track / trader track) and this was the next big thing.

"Wall Street tech" has it's own levels as well.

We're they from a top tier IB, top tier HF or Prop trading company?

Or from lower tier IB/HF/Trading company or worse one of the 1000's of fintechs.
