> If you are just hiring traders I didn't say he was hired for his trading ability. I only suggested coding isn't a perquisite. > random person from MIT I didn't suggest that was the qualifier for them being hired. They do hire from universities like MIT, though, and I'm sure there are many alumni that stay connected to faculty for the purpose of finding candidates. Only 23 of 123 open jobs for students/new grads on their site are for software engineers. https://www.janestreet.com/join-jane-street/open-roles/?type... They say on the site: "We look for smart people with curious minds from any background." |

I will say this another way: I know fundamental hedge funds that have stopped hiring people who can't code into roles IF they have no trading experience. That is how important the skill set has become. I don't know you have any function at a QUANT hedge fund if you can't trade and can't code...like what do you all day?
Right, and click on quant trader. And look at Power Trading, Options Trading, "coding skills are a plus"...I am not saying they don't hire them, what I am saying is that this is odd when you consider anything else about JS and that the rules are probably different for someone like SBF.
