- user5994461 8y agoIt's all about location. Web is the west coast while finance is the east coast.
- newobj 8y agoLet me put it this way, people that came to BigCo's from FinCo's in my experience (I mean, trading/quant, not banking software) generally were 90th percentile+ performers at BigCo's. Don't know about the other direction.
- user5994461 8y agoIt's the same in both directions. It's very visible in London where all companies are in the same locations and people transfer back and forth.
- haskellandchill 8y agoWhen I pass the tech interview I fail leadership, when I pass the leadership I fail tech. Kind of amusing. Amazon and Facebook are still interested in me but I'm not interested in studying algorithms for them again for a while. I like studying algorithms but am more interested in specific algorithms at the moment, not random undergraduate ones. Google has me on the 3 strikes list.
