CTRL + F "Tue. Nov. 24th 2009" on that page. Apparently someone got into the Gmail account of one of the emails used for that ad and found various references to http://deshaw.com , as well as the various other people mentioning D.E Shaw in the comments. I guess that's the end of the mystery? Or am I missing something?
Someone hacked their email, and send them his resume? Isn't that a felony?

>CTRL + F "Tue. Nov. 24th 2009" Off topic, but is there a linking service where the reader can be directed to an arbitrary location within the page? In this case we could just click on the link and it'll directly take us to that particular comment? I'm just surprised that there's still no way for me to link someone to a particular paragraph within a Wikipedia article in the year 2014.

As someone who has no idea what the working environment is like, I'd love to hear some stories. What's day-to-day life like in that sort of job? I guess I'm just curious what the owners do to make it so unbearable to work there. And why they don't care.
After reading these other comments, I Googled David E. Shaw and found this: http://mathbabe.org/2012/04/05/it-sucks-to-be-rich/ . (WARNING: Not sure of the validity of these stories, but they're interesting.) > First example: David hires a Ph.D. in English literature (he has a thing for “geniuses”, even in the mail room) to test mattresses for him. So that person’s job is to sleep on 15 different mattresses, for 8 ni…

I don't think that's technically possible.
Just needs browser support. A Chrome or Firefox extension could do.
I did that for some reason I don't remember many years ago, but it's quite fragile. OTOH if you do it based on text content it somewhat resists better to htm changes but not to content changes. It's tricky.
Perhaps this is a slightly more sophisticated version of the "Make $10,000 a month working from home" scheme used to recruit mules for money laundering.

It's super high risk, super high reward, super high pressure, basically the tech industry except the people don't pretend not to be douches. Hedge funds are the same as startups, 5 guys with 5 billion dollars who opened business two weeks ago. Like the don't hire an asshole rule would be hire only assholes, and once in a while they'd hire someone who wasn't. That said if you don't mind working with douches at least y…
Bingo!

The answer is obvious and simple to anyone who has worked for "one of Wall Street's most successful entrepreneurs." These assholes churn through assistants like you wouldn't believe. Most quit, in spite of the high pay, out of basic self-respect. The others are fired during a tantrum. Most of these jagoffs have a few pending wrongful termination lawsuits at any given time. Just ask them, they'll probably brag about i…

I think the answer is in the comments: "6/4/08 - Just saw this and googled it, of course. If I had to guess on hedge funds, this sounds like something D.E. Shaw might try for recruitment. They're big on the whole "just be brilliant" bit in order to recruit talent. Additionally, I noticed in their own recruitment posts on CL the respond-to e-mail address is Craig-Gen@career.deshaw.com while that one is gencraig@spsfin…
