>>> I'm not sure what it looks like at the entry level end, but for experienced hires it's busy. Busy doesn't mean hiring, it just means they are sending candidates continuously (to fail). The reality is that high finance is extremely competitive. The positions are few. The candidates are many. My experience is that trading firms can easily sift through ten qualified candidates to make one hire. They complain about how difficult it is to hire, but they fail to acknowledge the endless stream of qualified candidates they rejected. P.S. Entry level is a slaughterhouse. Could be hundreds of candidates, who all come from top schools and pass dynamic programming exercises.
