Rentech uses this model too. The equity-to-salary ratio of an employee increases the longer they remain at the firm. It's for incentivizing employees to stick with the firm in the long run such that they don't work for any other firms and become a competitor (especially true in trading given the small population of talents).

Good intuition in probabilities is a must.

Yeah, quants firms are great at PR and marketing. They give out free merch, sponsor hackathons, and organize in-person events with all expenses paid. I study at Berkeley and so many students here rock their merch, which gave them even more exposure on campus.

Their effort definitely paid off though. Quants like JS, Citadel, or Jump hire some of the brightest students from Berkeley and other top CS schools.
