It doesn't mean you will be sitting on the trading desk with the traders. It will be you sitting on your little cubicle trying to fix many broken spreadsheets and curse yourself. It's a pure IT job and I hear the C# plan many times. It's ain't going to happen. Don't say I didn't warn you. You may thank me someday.You aren't hired to learn about business. You are hired to keep the spreadsheets working, the machine humming. You can do better than this. If this is your first job in finance, maybe it's worth a try so you learn how to identify a better job in the future.</blockquote>
