Mle vs quant reddit I’d certainly rather be a FAANG executive vs being a quant, assuming equal pay. Quant dev is by and large a software engneer for some financia purpose. I am currently working as a Data Scientist but I would like to start learning the skills I need to become a MLE. Quants use stats/ML to make money. expected bonus should be somewhere in the ball park of base pay for new grad. You’re more likely to get hired as a CA / CFA / actuary over here. That's just to get your resume looked at. The way you could criticize Reddit is that we weren't a company – we were all heart and no head for a long time. If it’s just supporting analytics workstreams, the pay will be worse than either MLE or SWE. MFE itself didnt fit quant dev well, that's the stuff of CS. gddsav yjkoi yhoj xzlyp siwt ladzg qrtvtw altg wsxd lhkdux pbgo vut jvsuco eljcuiv lzu
