Invest outside the US. India & China at-least will be growing 7%+ Y/Y for a quite a while. Add the rest of asia, S america, and africa, and there are tons of great investment opportunity. Heck currently euro zone bonds are making a

I used to think that buying SUN would have been a smart move for Apple. SUN were pretty much the Apple of enterprise, propriety OS, CPUs, hardware, software. While there was little user synergy, the $5.6 Bn Oracle payed now seems cheap for

Apple losing their server division, and their huge focus on iOS has led to many of their core OS technologies lagging behind. Examples are networking, filesystems (still HFS+), kernel level benchmarks, concurrency, NUMA etc, and especially

Just from what you said, the solution 'seems' very simple: Compensate more. This may mean pay, equity, or being able to work on interesting problems. From my experience there are many extremely talented programmers in London, and these gu

tldr: despite the flawed stats of the poll, similar skillets are actually paid similarly between London and SV. It's hard to compare directly between SV and London because they're very different economically. SV is full of huge pure tech co

They may make you go through a preferred agency for payroll/invoicing, but any fees they add should be passed back to the employer, not met by you. Typical enterprise/gov BS, needlessly adding 10-20% to the cost. By agents I mean 'recruitme

This is in addition to specialisation, not instead of. Not picking on you, but I feel sales and other 'soft skills' are severely undervalued by many otherwise talented hackers. After a certain point of technical competency, the ROI of learn

by dmmalam 13y ago
Selling is hard because most devs aren't used to it. That's why agents exists; they can often get you a higher rate even after their 20-40% cut. Most companies have a preferred list of agencies/consultancies, but they are not obliged to use

Forgot to mention that the specialised learning will naturally happen on the job, when your speaking daily with the experts. Though a bit of wikipedia learning can't do you wrong just to talk around the subject.

TBH I would recommend not doing any textbook learning. This aplies to most enterprises, not just finance, but your 'domain expertise' comes from work experience in that domain. Hence the obvious chicken/egg problems, so the best way to crac

I've quite a bit of finance tech experience in London, and my brother is a SAP recruiter, and the biggest thing I've learned is that most developers undercharge. There are many good devs paid $600/day, being marked up to $1500+ by agencies.
