A comment on The other kind of staff software engineer. Parent comment
Market makers like Jane Street are not fintech. They are trading companies.
Jane Street in particular is still very much gut-feeling point-and-click trading, compared to Jump and Citadel Securities.
Fintech companies are more related to payments: Stripe, Gusto, Plaid, etc.
Another difference is pay/TC: trading companies pay significantly more than fintech and MAANG, even for SWEs.
