So a couple of opportunities came up to get my foot in the door with some companies working with kdb/ in the financial / capital markets / banking space who are looking for grads in STEM subjects.
I know these are lucrative long term but I think i’d be pigeonholing myself, one of them even works with their own language called Q. They also work with Python but the company reviews are bad.
They are more like consultancies working with clients and involve travel and being onsite etc. fuck that. And the lack of transferrable skills
I think I would like to learn more about design and implementing apps and websites so think I’m gonna pass
I quit my job recently so it’s tempting to take the first thing that comes along strictly to get some experience under my belt as a dev but I think this would be a mistake and I’d just end up where I was before
There’s plenty of time to experiment and see what year 2 of the master brings, the good news is it seems it’s going to be easy enough to get some kind of employment straight out the gate
