Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Five Rings is still hiring in July 2026, including 2026 trader and software roles.

- LINK 2026 in New York, August 10-14, 2026, feeds an early-career recruiting pipeline.
What critics are saying
- No public revenue disclosure leaves employer quality opaque, forcing candidates to trust signals.
- Geographic sprawl across New York, London, and Amsterdam creates coordination drag and compliance exposure.
- A bad trading year can quickly slash headcount because proprietary profits fund every team.
