I wonder if there are any jobs still available in the KDB+/Q space? Specifically in EU/UK/IE region. I don’t see many available. Anyone aware?
Not lots but JPM, Millennium, Goldman, UBS all are. Worth chatting to Radley James potentially https://www.efinancialcareers.co.uk/jobs/kdb%2B-developer/in-europe?q=KDB%2B+developer&countryCode=GB&radius=40&radiusUnit=km&pageSize=15&filters.locationPath=Europe¤cyCode=GBP&language=en&includeUnspecifiedSalary=true
There are a few but it’s like the SAP days now, too many with a little experience in the market which makes it harder for experience to stand out and when combined with their higher rate/salary, some clients were trying to get away with 300-400/day with no clue that one wrong step in KDB and your database goes down, it is what it is, make sure your Linkedin shows KDB in the headlines and connect with a few specialists, it’s a small world and will start the process.
