I ran medium sized teams for a long time and decided I didn't want to go that direction. I'm much happier as a regular SWE again, maybe looking after 1-2 people. However there are some downsides; The money isn't as good, you

Yeah these HFTs aren't big companies, they buy and sell stocks quickly. After the 87 crash big banks could buy billions of dollars of stocks and bonds because banks are huge and could do this to both protect the market, their customers

Outside America this has been pretty common or even worse. FTSE100 (UK), CAC40 (France) are right now trading the same values as 1999. Nikkei is the same level as 1988. HK is same as 2007.
