In the annals of mythical quant pay, there's nowhere quite as generous as hedge fund Renaissance Technologies. After all, founder Jim Simons isn't worth $18bn for nothing. 

Needless to say the average employee at Renaissance Technologies isn't Jim Simons. Simons famously made an average of $184k an hour in 2017. Many quants at the fund make less than that in a year, in salary at least.
