If you have the option then the country is not your primary concern. The quality of your PhD experience is 95% determined by the quality of your supervisor and lab-mates. So you should judge based on that irrespective…
I think it means Individual Contributor work, so he's coding stuff not managing people
Trading. Check out firms like Optiver, Jump Trading, XR, etc. Big bucks for FPGA devs
I think that term encompasses a wide range of designs. The article seems to be describing a particular style of event-driven architecture, used to organize code within a single process.
First thing is you need to actually be a good engineer. No point optimising if you suck, just put your head down and learn. Next thing you need to know is the rules of the game in YOUR organisation. Every company is…
You are correct about the tech industry here (low salaries relative to US) but developers working in finance in London make comparable money to Bay Area tech firms. People routinely get paid £100k straight out of…

Which did you prefer? I currently work in the former environment (but everyone is like that guy), and it's super noisy and distracting but also fun.
This sounds cool. Two questions: 1. Without giving away secrets, how do you find such clients? 2. You must have some great stories. Would you care to share any?
I'm including the Gryadka author's rebuttal here, for completeness: Thank you for the analysis of my post but it seems that you didn't get it correctly. Even to read a value you have to execute the full cycle (prepare,…
No. I think he understands exactly what the article means, and is correctly stating that it is not necessarily foul play at all.
Yes that's what I worked out as well. That's not doing any operations just storage.
That is specifically if you want to get a job as a trader. The best way is by spending time playing poker, bridge, etc. Sports betting is also good. Any game where you are making decisions facing asymmetric payoffs…
