Again, it still makes no sense. If you aren't hiring traders (and btw, JS is hiring real traders) then why you hire someone who couldn't code into a grad program.

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.
