View opportunityAmsterdam is home to several of the largest options market makers in the world, and the hiring profile reflects that: trading technology, low-latency engineering and options theory dominate. Base salaries look modest against New York, but bonus outcomes at the successful firms have historically been a large multiple of base.
Pay varies more by function and seniority than by city. The salary pages model each function for Amsterdam with the basis they use; adverts that publish pay show it on the listing.
Each firm runs its own loop. The guides below cover Jane Street, Jump Trading and Optiver in Amsterdam, stage by stage.
Modelled total compensation for the functions hiring here, in EUR. KnowQuant applies a Amsterdam index of 0.74 to its New York reference bands, rounded to the nearest 5k. These are estimates, not offers.

|---|---|---|
| Quant Researcher | €155k to €270k | €545k to €1.7m |
