The CEO worked at Jane Street for less than 18 months and appears to have had a fairly junior role there. I'm sure they are smart folks but there's a limit to how much you can learn in 18 months, in your first job after college.
- blitzar 4y agoNobody is leaving Jane Street after 18 months - straight out of college, of their own accord.
- eldenwrong 4y agoWhat are you implying?
- blitzar 4y agoMy statement is clear with no implications at all.
- tough 4y agoHe was fired
- shorthistory 4y agoIs that a fact, or are you stating that is the implication of the parent comment?
- tough 4y agoThe latter, I didn't even read TFA. Sorry if my prior message was confusing, but why would a top tier company let go one of their best performers after just a half and a year out fresh of college?
- shorthistory 4y agoWas it only 18 months? Wikipedia states: ...he returned there full-time after graduating [in 2014]. In September 2017, Bankman-Fried quit Jane Street... Seems closer to 3 years, but it doesn't state whether he started there immediately after graduating or not. What do you suggest are the reasons for his leaving?
- FabHK 4y agoGP was talking about the CEO of Alameda, who, according to page linked by GGP, is > Caroline Ellison, CEO > Before joining Alameda in 2018, Caroline worked at Jane Street as a trader on the equities desk. You seem to be talking about SBF.
- jefftk 4y agoHuh? Leaving Jane Street to start crypto trading isn't what I would do, but it seems to have worked out well for them. Why does that suggest they didn't choose to leave?
