Top firms in HFT try to hire elite programmers and they tend to succeed. Think of it this way, if you are hiring hundreds or thousands of people a year, then it would be extremely difficult to make sure most of them are elite. Plus, chances are your projects don't require it anyway. Many projects need good talent, but not elite. But if you are hiring 1-20 people per year, then making sure that at least some of them are elite is not terribly difficult
- dllthomas 12y agoI can see the reasoning, I've just little confidence other dynamics don't dominate. I'm not saying I'm confident they do; and even if they do it's certainly possible for them to push the matter in either direction. But I'm saying that I don't know, that nothing you've said is anything I haven't considered, and that it's likely you also know less than you seem to think. And again, I'm saying that as someone who has worked in HFT.
