C++ market

[BlasterBates]

How's the C++ market, I'm up for renewal at the end of the year. Seems to be the odd opportunity in Germany, what about the UK? Do those banking jobs have huge queues of applicants?

You'll be fine: plenty of IB c/c++ roles around, paying anywhere from 500-600.

Did hear actually that the C++ market, was holding up better than Java or DotNET.

There are plenty being advertised. I am up for about 20 of them at the moment. None of them appear to be moving. Apparently there are alot awaiting for HR approval. I hope they start moving soon.

Be wary of 'jobs' advertised by agents. Many of those jobs don't actually exist and agents are just fishing for CVs to put in front of potential employers.

[BlasterBates]

yes I see plenty of adverts but I'm suspicious. I might apply just to see what happens.

There seem to be all the usual daily IB jobs on Jobserve, exactly the same as before the recession. In the real world, there seem to be quite a few that want either MS SQL, Oracle, or Linux kernel knowledge, which counts me out on all three.

Oracle download. Free.
Linux download. Free.
MS SQL. Don't know, but shouldn't be that hard to get your hands on a copy.

What are you waiting for.
