Do you know if Argon Design hires graduates? I would love to break into the HFT / FPGA design space, however it seems like the barrier to entry is rather high.

I don't work there any more due to moving to Scotland, but entertainingly I'm still in the carousel of employees at the top of that page. They absolutely do take graduates but only good graduates; you'd need a 1st or 2:1 from one of the top universities. Note that they're a consulting firm that do all sorts of things and may not currently be doing any HFT or FPGA projects!

Oops, don't know how I missed the part about graduates.
Thank you!

Most hft shops have graduate positions. You can contact me if you're interested! (Not sure what the easiest way is with HN though)

That's good to know. My email is in my profile - feel free to shoot me a message :)
It's not that bananas, as a TCP connection is just a state machine, but you do need to plan how many simultaneous connections you want upfront and whether to copy all the logic for each one or find some way of sharing the logic and having a state table in memory somewhere.
