Hi there - I know that the IRD traders at one bank hated the Front End to calypso and thus chuckedit on behalf of Murex - I have no idea what people think of Murex though..

<t>bb"you can call someone naive and spell it wrong " You are correct I am guilty- shoot me now "based upon my experience and I'm surprised it is so disjoint from your experience"Yes I'm surprised as well... but then again, thowing hardware at a software problem like the ones JIMdescribed, and which...

<t>Head hunters are very different than recruiters - I think a number of people tend to like working with one or more recruiters whom theysee as valuable and will stick with them no matter which company the recruiter moves to - this is generally because it is so much easierto deal with someone who a...

<t>I agree - Huxley is the worst! How they get on banks vendor lists is beyond me - and Orgtel as you know is owned by Huxley, so theyactually have themselves on the vendor list 2x and banks don't mind?? I know one guy who was hiring from both cos (before he discovered they were in fact the same co)...

Hey there - shouldn't you qualify your statement with 'but it all depends on the bank?'. So many banks have 'vendor lists' - if the candidate doesn't come in through an approved vendor, they don't come in period.

<t>Hi - looking for feedback about two conferences by those who have attended one or both. Global Derivatives & Risk Management put on by icbi.co.uk (next one is in May 2005), and Credit Risk Summit put on by Incisive Media (one just passed Oct 12 & 13 London 2004).Have you gone to the confe...

<t>As, I am not a techie guru myself (and only speak on behalf of one), I have decided to quote another forum users (JIM) postabout Calypso. DCFC - sometimes a system is completely flawed and "avoid[ing] some jerk who see source code in C++,EJB,Java,SQL,F4,D or whatever and says "this is wrong" is a...

<t>The technology of the "engine" is rarely sometging a rational customer cares about.I so completely disagree with you on this. Better to rely on internal experts to see if the app will do what it says rather than the hype of the company.An example... calypso .... calypso wasn't *designed to scale*...

<t>Infinity is a mature product with a fairly large client base and has been around for about ten years. CIBC was (I think) their first client. I have lots of experience with Infinity. It was good in its time but is now rather dated.So is it accurate to assume then that Infinity developers/integrato...

<t>Can't fault you for doing whatever it takes to get your rate, but myimpression of top managements competence has fallen to new lows.In relation to this thread's topic, an amusing thing recently happened- a JRISK salespersonmust have read my hubbies article and called him up to arrange a meeting.T...

<t>>>untill recently what I sold was risk management based on real option theory as a way of managing your project portfolio I can see why you'd have a **huge** problem *selling* the above BS- the average IT managerhas zero understanding of option theory and can barely understand the financial produ...

<t>Well I don't know If I'm for full disclosure of the exact amount people are getting on an individual basis, that is not what this thread is advocating. The main point is to figure out the mechanism that HR uses to determine the mininum and maximum salaries achievable within a grade/banding. This ...

<t>Advantages of moving to London/England:- no city tax (subtract X%)- no state tax (subtract X%)- no realestate tax (most property tax is maxed out around 3000 pounds/year even if the home is worth $10million- no sales tax (it all includes vat but even w/vat price are similar in the us, just change...

Give me even one example of someone who was sacked purely for revealing their pay package/pay structure at a certain corp- that is bs generated by HR to scare people from finding out that they are really being underpaid, and, also probabally to protect them from inequity pay related lawsuits.

<t>Hey Linuxuser - well big bank philosophy is what crushes innovation & productivity, however it is possible to sneak in under the radar and produce great things by the time the radar hits you and that's not a bad way to establish oneself. Hubbie being a manager himself, head actually, does not...
