I guarantee that higher quality pay will give you access to a higher quality talent pool.
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.

#24I don't know if that's a solvable problem (maybe higher pay? But I hear they pay well already). Or maybe my perspective is an uncommon one. I just think it's silly to say there's a shortage of C++ devs because a specific industry has hiring difficulties. The article says that it's not a HFT-specific problem, but doesn't go into it.

Do people actually use c++ for HFT? I thought it was all verilog and cuda.

Exactly. They pay well, but the job is absolutely stressful. If you survive long enough to enjoy some of this money, good luck for you, you deserve.

What's the point of all that money if you have no time to spend it and the stress will send you to an early grave?
