โ€‹The demand for quantitative professionals is growing each year, and talent shortages are at an all-time high. Financial firms are not only competing for experts who can accurately forecast market movements, optimise strategies, and manage risks to secure a competitive advantage, but these skills are becoming highly sought after in other industries as well.

Whether you are a hiring manager aiming to offer attractive and competitive compensation to attract top talent, or a professional looking to compare your current salary and bonus against the market, Selby Jennings is here to support you with essential information so you can make well-informed decisions.

Our salary guide provides a comprehensive overview of the compensation landscape for quantitative analytics, research, and trading in the USA, Europe, and APAC. For Europe, the salary guidance covers PhD graduates, sell side, and buy side.

"While compensation can vary quite dramatically in Europe depending on the country, it has risen by 15-20% on average across the board in the last year, driven by particularly large talent shortages in the region and long non-competes," says Matthew Rooney, Associate Director, Head of Quantitative Analytics, Research & Trading Europe.
