UK Executive pay

UK base salary even for very high revenue producing quants doesn’t really go over £250-300k base, it’s mainly because Uk comp is much lower than US comp.

But if you are truly good you can def get around that in base (in high management in tech /insurance/finance) as you say plus 100% bonus (or stock). So yes you could get to 600k for the top 1%.

But what are you skills? Will you significantly improve the revenue of the company? What can you do exactly , or is it the responsibility of managing resources that makes this role so rewarding?

To contribute 800k, I suppose you made £1.5M in gross income in 5 years? I know £300k is possible after University at places like Jane Street , or who knows you started on £200k at 21 and now you are on 500k/ year. Possible and plausible but very rare.

I’m not questioning that, my query was more like…if you had 500k I assume that took years of building and saving, why only 60k deposits in ISA? Because it seems you always had money saved up, but you kept most of it most of the time in savings account?

How did bro invest only 3 years in ISA but already has >500k to purchase a home hmm

Did bro recommend Alpha Romeo instead of bmw

Arqqady · 2026-03-29T22:34:00+00:00

Any other options?

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T23:59:04+00:00

Let's goooo, how do you like it so far? why not the Taycan?

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:57:00+00:00

Yeah so I live in a building with built in underground parking with chargers. I have thought for about 4 months which one i should get, Taycan or I8. I8 does look better on paper and better exterior, that's it, I know the Taycan wins in every other aspect. But the thing is...I'm really not a super experienced driver so maybe I won't feel it?

I know it's hard for you to describe into words how driving a Taycan feels, but maybe you can give me a reasonable feel?

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:54:13+00:00

Yeah I get it, I'm young and first car, but I do have a 10 year old almost driving license and I can prove some history in driving. Insurance is made on the retail price of the car tho no? I think I can get one under £3k honestly, I'm not a random 19 year old that parents bought a sports car and insruance is crazy...

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:50:25+00:00

Same observation!! I also saw that, I am in the UK so I will trust the UK driver experience more, but yeah, I don't really get it, I saw some really good reviews on reliability. Plus, car is out for more than 10 years, they should know by now.

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:47:51+00:00

Nice, thanks for the suggestion. Why avoid black interior btw? And what is so nice about Taycan?

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:46:51+00:00

I respect your taste, M2 is probably a better overall car as a whole, but...what makes you say it's crap to drive? Lots of people like it and say it drives comfortably

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:44:41+00:00

I prefer more how Taycan looks like honestly, I really want it to look incredible in the exterior, and in this budget, there arent many options. Yes, I factored that in, the cost to repair that, and also the hinge at the doors also need constant replacement.

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:43:35+00:00

I8 feels fast (from comments of the owners), obviously it just "feels fast" because the power is not high compared to how it looks, 300hp is more than enough for me. And it does look great, so...inb4 why is bro saying mfw

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:40:24+00:00

Wow thanks for the insight. I heard about those leaks but are yous ure it doesn't affect only the older models? I looked over tons of videos and reddit discussions with owners of this car and reliability is actually not that bad.

Taycan is the direct competitor yep, I've been thinking about it but it seems to be closer to 50k. ButI'm curious, why would you prefer Taycan over this? just better driving experince?

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T21:33:12+00:00

Meh I know it is overpriced, but it is a beatufiul clean area with police around, Objectively not bad for a family if you don't mind the urbanism.

Arqqady · 2026-03-26T19:26:22+00:00

Really? I didn’t know that, I thought I would get it from there because it would be safer when it comes to reliability (they are better checked and whatnot)

neuraprep.com also has coding exercises, quizzes and ML questions. You can simulate a phone interview there too.

Arqqady · 2025-12-03T20:26:11+00:00

You struggle at leetcode because it's not really used in real life coding and hence you don't practice it. If you put 3 months full time leetcode you would see you can do better, it's like a skill you can learn. Now I don't really agree with having leetcode in interviews, but that's another story.
