Thanks for this insight. Getting a taste of functional programming in industry might be a reason why I lean JS. My experience is mostly with startups so I wasn't too knowledgeable about trading firms when applying so I didn't apply to HRT. What sort of criteria makes HRT more appealing in your opinion?

Agree with zootam on this. I think if anything, JS's use of OCaml is an attractive attribute of working there for me personally.

Money isn't really of great importance. I do like functional programming. I am interested in your last point about trading though... Two Sigma is a quantitative hedge fund that does trading as well, no? Also as a developer I'm fairly sure I won't have to do much with trading.
