Thanks--that would certainly be good to clarify.

I work at a major hf in C++/R and do a large amount of data analysis and signal generation research. A bit of excel too :)

Well, one idea if you're interested -- you could email me at [email protected] and I can put you in for an engineering role here :) A lot of the other engineers here actually came from similar roles at, ie, GS and DE Shaw.

More generally, I would look in places where your financial services experience will be appreciated. Financial tech, for sure, but really any enterprise SaaS company will appreciate people with programming skills and business sensibilities.
