Actually, Paul Moss is part of the problem and not of the solution when it comes to "Financial Services". Wasn't this guy the chair of Carnival that p*ssed thru millions of dollars for nothing? It was the equivalent of Neville Wisdumb's $300,000 gunny sack Christmas decorations.
>but with an intense bootcamp course they could quickly come up to speed.
I work in a shop that not only trades equities and derivatives, but we have robo-traders (autonomous technical analysis) for arbitrage and trading opportunities. To that end, we have a dev shop (development shop) and just from the conversations going on, I doubt that a bootcamp would be enough to create an expert coder.
I talk to these lads, because I am highly interested in this stuff. As one of the lead programmers explained to me, you need a few years under your belt to become a proficient programmer that can "program down to the bare metal" whatever that means. He talks about functional programming in Haskell, recursion, weighted moving average algorithms, data structure optimization, polymorphic inheritance and other stuff.
I started reading about in getting into programming and looked at online Coursera - when you can take courses for free. As our boss explains, it is another literacy. So the other day I took a look at the whiteboard in our dev shop. I copied down this into my diary: Small-depth Multilinear Formula Lower Bounds for Iterated Matrix Multiplication. Then they had stuff like acyclic graph relationship and polynomial IMM and that's when I gave up trying to understand what was written on the whiteboard.
I think that serious programming needs serious education in maths, information theory, data science theory and a bunch of stuff that they don't teach you at coding boot camp. The geeks in my office call most programmers kiddie scripters. I think that it is like any other field. You just can't take a course and expect to be an expert. The way that tech is moving today, you need to have a deep understanding and experience of the theory.
It's over. The focus is now on Latin American money and that doesn't bode well for the tightening up of the financial services industry. Either you play inside the fence, or you have to play with the undesirables outside the fence. There is no escaping it.
