> if you completely ignore HFT, you'd think there would be way more programmers and mathematicians available for hire.
Can you clarify this? My interpretation is that if you discount mathematicians / programmers working in HFT, you would expect more of them to be in the market for jobs?
if you completely ignore HFT, you will ignore that there are many very qualified people working in that field, and therefore overestimate the number of those people available for you to hire.
