Maybe you have too much experience in the other roles, and your pay grade experience level corresponds to glorified web development?
You should apply to
Goldman Sachs who are a Java shop. I think the Chicago CME group also does C++. An enumerable number of hedge funds do C++.
- AncoraImparo 14y agoPayment hasn't came into it for me yet, I am currently unaware of how much money I would be earning in a role in the USA, and it isn't my main focus anyway. Goldan Sachs have a massive recruitment drive on at the minute, but because of my location they wont help me move, they only offer recruitment to their London buildings. CME are the same, as they are moving a lot of their development to Northern Ireland. Unfortunately. Is there a job market that focuses on C, C++ and java roles, in the USA? I don't even need to focus directly on the finance industry, I would be happy to move to another sector.
- frozenport 14y agoHPC and big data are exclusive to the USA. IBM, Intel, Cray, NVidia, Amazon, Nokia, Google have those needs. Its actually quite easy to name places. That being said, showing an interest in Java is an almost immediate disqualification. You need to be able to answer questions such as how to vectorize a loop, structure of a makefile, how to build a cache, what is thunk, pthreads, and sometimes you may need to be aware of BLAS. During an interview I was asked 'who mom likes'. Off-course my mom likes me!
