These are financial firms griping about the lack of developers. They're some of the highest paid developers in the world. But working for these companies is also insanely stressful. Long hours, high pressure.
Maybe that reputation has caught up to them.

But also, these companies have a lot of weird modern C++ shibboleths in their interview processes. If they compromised on those and went for low-level engineering, performance engineering, and software engineering skill instead, there would be many more candidates.

The glue code is C++ still. It's also a much less glamorous job than when the C++ programmers were the "hot shit" instead of the people who specialized in accelerators.

The jobs that I have been approached for in HFT have been for C not C++.
