Hi all, looking to get a pulse on current salary bands for mid-level software engineers/developers specifically within the trading technology space at CME. I'm seeing some numbers out there but wanted to tap into the collective wisdom here. What are realistic expectations for someone with ~5-7 years of experience, strong in C++, Java, or Python, and experience with low-latency systems or financial protocols? Trying to gauge if current offers or internal ranges align with market value. Any insights on bonus structures or stock options would also be super helpful. Thanks in advance for sharing any info, no specifics needed, just general ranges or what you've seen.

Market data suggests that for mid-level roles in trading tech with your experience at firms like CME, you're looking at a competitive range. Given your skillset in C++, Java, or Python and experience with low-latency systems, expect base salaries to be strong, with potential for significant bonuses tied to individual and firm performance. The exact figure will depend on the specific team, the criticality of the role, and the prevailing market conditions at the time of hiring. It's worth comparing offers carefully against your researched benchmarks.
