QuoteOriginally posted by: misiti3780that is why i inserted this statementif you are applying for jobs that require c++i got it, but even if they're looking for a quant with c++, i think that these r irrelevant questions. it's just my opinion, i know that everyone would disagree

Point taken...will try and work on numerical methods & vba

a lot of huge company use cobol for processing information into spreadsheets and such. my friend only has a two year degree as a computer programmer using cobol and makes fairly good money (in the US)
