My experience is quite varied but I'd say mainly anything MS stack oriented, with some Java and C++. I've also got quite a lot.of web and mobile, which I appreciate isn't 100% applicable to the financial sector. Perhaps more relevant is my hobbyist experience building poker bots, so I know about some complex Maths, AI and game theory but I don't have a degree so I know that a potential employer may not appreciate my skill set in those areas. I would be willing to go cheap for maybe a year until I've got a better history in the financial sector. How cheap is cheap?
