I am sick and tired of hearing tech companies complain about developer shortages

maybe try going to actual top firms: JS, HRT

$400k new grad TC, Free food, 40 hour work weeks, great company culture (many events)

Facebook this year had many intern events trying to convince people that FB > Quant, evidently the brain drain is there

They are the minority with a VERY small staff, compared to most others. (Also HRT engineers work a lot, not leasurely 40 hours per week)

Pointing to extreme outliers is not giving your opinion much credence. Because I can point to some people who work in crypto, that earn $600k+ without breaking a sweat - in Singapore with Singaporean taxes(which blows HRT salaries with US taxes out of the water)

I'm considering making the next move in my career, can you expand on the top firms and by full name so I can find them?

Much appreciated :)

I assume they were referring to Jane Street and Hudson River Trading - wishing you every success with your next career move!

I am guessing JS is Jane Street and HRT is Hudson River Trading.
