Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why the disparity between onsite and remote?

Onsite is more valuable because of proximity to data and machines. Can help with hardware, sneakernet, etc. shorter latency of visual communication.

Thanks for the answer, but this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.

Jane Street | Software Developer | New York, London, Hong Kong | ONSITE, FULL-TIME, INTERNS, VISA, http://www.janestreet.com Jane Street is a quantitative trading firm with a focus on technology, a scientific approach, and a deep understanding of the markets. We are a global liquidity provider and market maker, operating around the clock and around the globe, employing over 500 people in our offices in New York, Lond…

Jane Street has always been on my list of companies that I wanted to work for, especially since I'm in HK. But I'm mostly coming from a web development background, and reading through your interviewing posts I got a little scared. Would you recommend me applying anyway?

A web development background certainly wouldn't hurt you, and could be a slight benefit as Js_of_ocaml becomes more popular here. That said, we tend not to look for specific backgrounds as much as strong programming skills and a good foundation in CS (not to be confused with a formal education in CS).

As far as whether I'd recommend applying - that's why I posted in the first place :)

On second thought, we can consider equivalent budget for remote / freelance.

As a programmer, you spend hours every day trying to answer simple questions like "How do I use this library?", "Does this function already exist?", and "What's going on in this changeset?" Sourcegraph makes exploring the world's code as painless as searching and browsing…

I had a chat with a member of your team after you posted this last month. I was told that you are not hiring remote right now.
