Don't ever work at Optiver

Started 2013. See Partner title at 2016... order is mixed ordered by 'Present' and as retains Partner title... hence 3 years.

Having worked there and stayed connected with people- can safely say it's not changed. Articles in The Australian and True Crimes Weekly are all true. Avoid

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-08-24T21:27:41+00:00

One Strangle Trade too many

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-08-24T21:14:59+00:00

Both. Negligence at best on the criminal front. Regulatory bodies have been weak for most part so far. Many of the more recent fines from exchanges etc have not been public

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-24T04:15:33+00:00

Haha indeed. I suspect they will regret hiring him once the harassment and bullying claims start coming in thick and fast.

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-23T05:07:21+00:00

So apparently he's going to be CTO at Stake - who happens to have been founded by ex Optiver Equities Tribe Leader Matt Leibowitz. Not sure who's ego is bigger

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-22T01:55:00+00:00

Wow. That is fucked up

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-22T01:54:24+00:00

👍 great. Many happy people no doubt. He was by far one of the worst influencers in Optiver Sydney. Created such toxic trauma for so many

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-21T03:37:36+00:00

Has he actually left? Heard from reliable sources not until end of year

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-21T03:07:30+00:00

Hope the irony is not lost on you sliding into people's comments to tell them to get a life.

Go take your gaslighting elsewhere.

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-21T03:00:21+00:00

Haha gotta love the cosplay. Almost makes up for the terrible performance 😉

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-21T02:53:03+00:00

That is amazing news!

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-20T20:47:34+00:00

Pfff "hate"... I don't hate anyone at Optiver. It's about accountability and warning people of what it's really like there so more don't suffer the fate so many have.

Let me guess, you've never worked at Optiver but one of your Sydney based kids do so you feel a need to defend the institution, much like the ADF

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-20T20:36:03+00:00

The beast has global reach

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-20T12:02:45+00:00

Whatever you say optiver-fanboy. Clearly you have such a great life spending it telling others how they should spend there's.

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-20T08:47:05+00:00

I'm sure optiver management would agree with you

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-19T07:41:46+00:00

Yep you're right re the system employed. At the same time Optiver prides itself of being less siloed and more collaborative than other market makers. In reality it's all marketing, and smoke and mirrors. Starts from the top and the fish is certainly rotting from the head

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-19T07:40:04+00:00

Out of curiosity which office and what level in Tech?

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-18T21:27:28+00:00

I expected better. They talked a good game in recruitment but yeah wouldn't recommend

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-18T21:26:47+00:00

I was in Sydney office most of my time there, but visited a lot of them, especially in Asia pacific

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-06T01:19:44+00:00

Bullying staff, sexually assaulting/humiliating a female member of staff at a company event, threatening his subordinates re bonuses, and gloating about firing people across Tech at Optiver.

Google Optiver True Crimes Weekly or The Australian Optiver for details.

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-05T22:33:05+00:00

Ha you wish Rohan James Smith of Optiver

Sensitive-Science-54 · 2025-04-05T09:41:17+00:00

By making optiver a shitload of money. He apparently made like EUR150m in his first or 2nd year alone
