Short Question
I'm a Java developer in Chicago, working for a fortune 100 company. I want to stay in Chicago, so I'm assuming that my employment venues will be largely restricted to prop shops. Would my background as a Java developer be negligible when seeking employment while in the MSFM at Chicago? What would be the challenges that I would face considering my background?
A little about me, in case it helps to know:
I specialize in web services for the most part and have been doing it for the past 4 years post graduation. But C++ is the de facto for the finance world.
As an undergraduate, I did spend a lot of my time with C/C++, matlab, working on Scientific Computing/Parallel Comp stuff, and it was really fun. My maths aren't tooo strong: Calc I, II, & III, Linear Algebra, 1 semester of DEQ, Probability Theory, and Statistical Theory. But I LOVE to program.
