Insider here. 350k-450k is now the HF standard package for fresh PhDs.
There's no point to debate about that.
THIS IS A FACT.
Please stop saying stupid things like b-school pay is comparable to HF salary.
They're not.
Median salary in HF is >500k for PhDs 3yr out of school.
Lool, 500K for 31 year olds. Hahaha. You put those people we see working for hedge funds get this?
What kind of backgrounds and skills do these funds request of fresh PhDs?
