> Jane Street and Two Sigma are sucking up all the talent.

This is the most made up thing I've ever seen on hn. Those firms hire probably 10 new grads a year (maybe combined!). Unless you're saying the collective talent graduating "high-tier CS programs" numbers in the 10s, this is literally impossible.

Way, way more than 10, but I agree with you that they are not taking even 1% of tech talent per year.

yeah and 2s has not been doing too hot for a few years now. Jane street I buy - they tend to recruit a lot of CMU students. But definitely less than < 15 of the new grads they hire each year are from CMU. They maybe hire on the order of 50-100 new grad SWEs a year.
