Can I ask how you got into using q/kdb? I've been using it in my current work, partly because it's well-suited to the table-oriented work I'm doing, and partly just because I wanted to learn it. But have no idea where to find opportunities using it.
- anonu 6y agoI was working at a large bank back in 2010 - as a quant trader. The firm acquired an enterprise license so that came with training and general openness to using this. More often than not, kdb is chosen as a basic time-series storage and retrieval. Which is a bit sad because thats really a small part of what it does well. Other firms use KDB in a more holistic manner, for building a distributed services system for example. (look up Torq from AquaQ) Where to find opportunities? Probably going to a job board and searching for KDB is a good place to start - most opportunities will be in trading or trading-tech related roles.
