On a more serious note, Jane Street has hired some very impressive technical talent. I'd work for them, myself, if I didn't have to relocate to Chicago.

I've applied to Jane Street dozens of times, interviewed twice, and have always been declined.
Obviously I'm not entitled to a job, so no hard feelings on that, but it's a little sad because I have always been a big functional programming nerd and it would be fun to work with Ocaml libraries. The fact that they pay really well is also appealing...

No, even better: they're still up $40B for the year.
Their nerd sniping is top notch. I almost accidentally applied for a job with them.
I don't think they even have a Chicago office, so it's good you didn't relocate there. They're based in New York.
$25B is less than people realize.
They have $140B AUM.
So they are up ~18%.
