The only factual comment here was by MR4D about how IRA accounts can impact wash sale rules, as would all accounts you own in prime brokerage.

Life is complicated and a transcript alone captures none of that complexity. As an example, I married someone whose father died of ALS while she was a college student. Helping care for her Dad, and comforting her Mom through his passing, had an impact on her college experience. I look for the A- candidate who perhaps worked during school, took challenging classes and has a passion for their craft, over the A+ candidate who coasted along and who has done nothing. Steel sharpens steel. Resilience in face of challenges is important. If the poor GPA is because you were partying and half-assing your work and couldn't be bothered to apply yourself, then please be honest with yourself and don't send a resume.
For the interview in our group, we will sit you at a keyboard with the OS, language and tools you selected, and we'll give you a coding project that exercises the skills you reported on your resume. And then we'll see how you work. If you are unproductive in that environment or spend all your time using google and stack overflow, then you are not our candidate.
It's the tone though that surprises me on what I expect is a more technically oriented site. I'm now half expecting an accusation that Renaissance uses witchcraft, or alien technology from the History Channel.
Deep java/kotlin experience is far more important. Note that as a developer you might start working with tax accounting, but then shift to risk management or investor relations, etc. as business needs shift, so specific knowledge in one area isn't that important.
Tax and accounting experience is nice, but any development work done in those domains would be done at the direction of our existing tax and accounting teams. It's beneficial to have the domain experience (ie what is a trial balance) but not required.
She has forwarded requests that people may occasionally send directly to me in the past and I generally try to respond. I prefer all communication be done through proper channels to avoid any "issues" that might arise.
I have a son who is a CS major in college now. I completely understand how challenging (and borked) the hiring/interviewing process is now as I speak with him about the frustrations he experiences. Which is why I try to be approachable when people have queries.

My group is looking for very strong Java/Kotlin developers.
Why is it so hard to accept that someone did the math?
We had a 24 hr old copy of the data and we were able to lift the few very important modified files off the device. So we reformatted with XFS and were able to restore the volume to a working state.
Fortunately, the failure happened late on a Friday so we had the weekend to put it all back together again.
I have only hatred for btrfs. Complete crap. Only our business competitors should use it ;-) We only chose to use it on this small system just so that we could get meaningful experience with it. We also had it running on another system where the next weekend we took emergency downtime and removed btrfs from it as well.
I've been using ZFS in production since it was released in Solaris 10 in 2006. It isn't perfect either. We did once hit a performance degradation which was fixed a few days later with a kernel patch. But that was 10 years ago. We never lost any data or sleep over it. We no longer have any Solaris boxes; they were all converted to Centos with ZFS. The main active ZFS pools are all 6TB of mirrored NVMe storage on systems with 2TB of ram and 48 core of INTC Platinum cpu's. Works like a charm.
btrfs is a awful. We used it for a brief time on a production system with vanilla mirrored drives. Absolutely horrible. I will never use btrfs for anything ever again. I've been running unix systems for 30 years; even the darkest days of UFS was not that bad.
This role could be in either location, but I expect it will be filled in our NYC offices.
We're no different than any other technology based firm.
The open position here most closely matches to the "Financial Infrastructure Programming" position.

Looking for developers to contribute to back office functionality, for essentially everything after the trade is made. We generally run Linux/JVM/Postgresql stack with an ongoing switch to Kotlin. Been in business for 30 years. We are stable and profitable. Resumes to [email protected]
Must have college degree with high GPA in math, physics, computer science or related fields. We typically desire many years of experience, but will consider recent graduates if the match is very strong.
Pooling introduces numerous other issues as well. For example, clients probably shouldn't all be using the same entitlements to connect, right? Surely there are some segregation of duties and roles that clients will be using alternative entitlements into the system?
Finally, you have to show some before and after results. This article simply asserts that connection pooling would improve the situation, but does nothing to demonstrate the point. Even the details of the server matter...how many cpus, how many drives, HDD or flash, what file system is being used?
It backs up against I-280
