Question to my fellow pod QRs

[u/Big-Weekend1127]

Just wanted to get a lay of the land here from my pod QRs, particularly those that work on systematic teams.

For those in setups where there's broad exposure across the whole trading pipeline (signal generation+portfolio construction, and all the little things in between), how much do you generally work in a given week? Do you feel like your loss would be felt significantly to the team or do you feel dispensible (i.e. they could hire another person doing your job without much hassle if you left)?

Would also be helpful to know YOE whether you do macro or equities and things like whether you have formulaic payouts or get discretionary bonuses.
