Why is there a tendency for IT geeks to be big headed for no reason whatsoever?

Why not start your own little consultancy, just a couple of people or so? Something new and yet in an area/network you know.

And before I know it I'll be working 14 hour days? No thanks, it's not as if I need the money.

Quite. Most of my friends are not techie geeks.

If you're running the show you can stroll in and just take the profits. Like DA really

Assguru has posted more defensive tripe on this thread than I've him post to date.

I've sat on the prop desk in Morgan and built a pairs trading engine on R/C++/kdb which was making a few grand a day during the GFC. I was getting a share of the PnL. I left when the prop desk got shut down.

Assguru is unravelling on this thread. I suspect he is doing an A-level in maths to attempt to get out of the SAS macro maintenance (that has forced him on the permanent sick) into a low level stat role.

Volumes of data?

You still don't understand the difference between software dev and large volume data analytics.

face it you've been pwned, eaten whole, exposed for the mediocre twat you are.
You googled a pile of irrelevant crap and it was inaccurate to boot.
You're a software dev with old skills soon to be bobbed.

ass, you're just a bit of a , thats why everyone thinks you're stupid. I obviously have other reasons, given for you, 1200 seems to be a smaller number than 700, but I disgress, I'll just continue thinking you're a very tedious

Ha ha, all you know about large volumes of data is carrying the tapes down to the vault.

Dont embarrass yourself further my writing "pwned" please, it's cringeworthy.

Fact is mate, at 40 you'll still be working to pay your rent. Meanwhile I can sit back and never work again.
End of story.
