What they mean is that they have loads of 'local knowledge'

wowser.

it might be gold dust to a permie, but it's bull dust to a contractor

Dunno about LCH, but it would be cool to have a contract at the LHC

I saw a presentation from one of their data analysts last year, which from a geek perspective was very interesting

Lots of physics I couldn't even pretend to understand, but it was interesting nonetheless.

You've been warned before about punching above your weight but good luck with your quest.

It would be useful if only people that have ACTUALLY worked at LCH Clearnet responded - obviously some people have nothing better to do!

Welcome to General.

You may want to ask the question in a different section of the forum rather than General, which is labelled "All hope abandon ye who enter here. Seriously."

Try the B/C subforum for more "professional" replies, but don't expect much.

I'm on holiday, the Mrs is sunbathing and the parents-in-law have taken junior for a walk.

I thought I'd take the time and make the effort to piss all over your topic.

Hth.
