Quants on Wall Street have been in high demand, but that’s no guarantee they’ll see big increases in their bonus check.
Many workers with tech skills on the sell side can expect roughly the same payout this year as last year, while most trading professionals will see smaller bonuses, according to an analysis by recruiting firm Options Group. Equities traders will fare the worst, with the steepest declines, while credit and securitized products are among the only groups with projected increases.
