Their revenue per employee is probably similar to revenue of a single mid size company.



From the article:

> At the end of 2023. Jane Street employed 2,631 people, so that equates to almost $4mn of net revenue per head on average. In adjusted EBITDA, it comes to $2.83mn per employee (or nearly $22mn for each of the 482 traders actual traders at Jane Street.)

And regarding compensation:

> Given Jane Street’s disclosed compensation and benefits of $2.4bn last year, this works out to over $900k for each employee on average.


I’d imagine it’s closer to giving most employees 2-300k and a few employees several million though


They made 10B net in 2023 (supposedly)…that’s a ballpark of 4M net revenue per employee. What mid size company makes 4M net per employee?!


They meant each employee as revenue equivalent of one entire mid-size company.


GOOG, which has a reputation of being slightly bloated, made $138 billion in revenue across 140,000 employees. That's $2.3 million per employee.


More like 180,000 full time employees, and probably at least that number again in external and temporary contractors etc.


I can assure you it’s much higher. Much higher.
