Hi.
I'm a 9yr exp full stack engineer. Have done webdev mostly. Currently earning around 30lpa I want a job change because:
I was looking around and HFT seemed interesting to me. I haven't done my full research on it, but from what little I have done, it seems like it is a very niche vertical requiring highly skilled folks and also we don't have HFT companies in India?
Anyways, I'm not fixated on HFT, that's just one avenue I explored.
I just want some better paying programming job where I can feel livelier. For eg., when I do complex DB queries for debugging and reports, or digging and parsing logs to find patterns and debugging, or optimizing some piece of code to squeeze more performance out of it.
I am fine with writing basic routine to make bucks but it's not fulfilling.
Please advise how to go about my career progression in a fulfilling way.
Are you talking about High Frequency Trading I’m hiring for those roles. What’s your tech stack are you good at Rust & R
Yes, high frequency trading. Unfortunately I don't think I'm ready as my experience is of doing web dev. Python, JS, NodeJS, postgres, MySQL, some devops, messaging queues etc the works.
Tech stack at current company is NodeJS + Mongo + React
But I don't have any experience in Rust or R. I can definitely grok and learn to be proficient in a month or less I guess if I'm hell bent.
But can you talk more about what a motivated individual like me can do to get my foot in the door? What skillsets are necessary? Also how much are the salaries usually for beginners? Like in terms of my current salary (2x? 3x? 1.5x?)
Are you also hiring freshers?
