:D I do not accept it, because you haven't given any opinion on the topic at hand; all you've done is personally attack me, and bash ET. It seems you have little to add here: you don't understand cl Here in the ET data science forum, you bad-mouth ET, belittle its members, attack me ad...

Again, back to the ad hominem attacks; this time it's my, "decision making." In my defense, ET is just one of dozens of sources I consult before making any decision; and yes, I do value opinions here on ET. Yes, my trade volume is low, my pay-grade sucks, my decision-making is poor, ET is...

ET is a good forum, and there are some smart people here. I've received some great and helpful responses to some tough questions through the years--all for free. Are there gamblers and n00bs? Yes, but there are also seasoned professionals who are willing to share their experience. Maybe 99% are...

For a minute I thought that you were joking... but this is Reuters! O.O

Can we please set aside my trading volume, pay grade and penis size, and answer the question? -> Would this be a good fit for a hedge fund with proprietary data, analysis, and information, or is the security risk too high?

True, but would you recommend it to a client that does trade heavily?

But that's the point... some of the best indicative data sets _about_ financial markets come from _outside_ financial markets. Most, if not all, arbitrage contained _within_ the set of market data is gobbled up by the hedge funds in microsecond time before it even hits most screens. How do you...

But what about the data set of a hedge-fund client? If you were working for Citadel, would you recommend Amazon Finspace?

Market and public data, fully agree. Non-market, proprietary, and other "weird" data, maybe not. Do you think they have, say, transaction data for all of American Express's customers? They do have data for all Amex purchases through Amazon.. but there it ends, no? ..but most importantly, it's...

I've been looking at this as a platform for Data Analysis, but I have some doubts about sending my data sets into Amazon. Data sets are the bedrock of ML, AI, and Data Science/Analytics in general. Data sets reveal much about a strat; just knowing what they are gives much away. Exponentially...

Keeping the rich rich. That money moves into the banks, and accounts controlled by the elite. I'd love to see a true audit of where this money is ending up.

...they're watchdogs. :D

...and the rights lost with it are gone forever.

I'm not asking you to move or change jobs, or to argue whether software engineers can be commoditized. I'm asking you to _negotiate_. You had the guts to submit for the role, and impressed them enough to get an offer. Now push them to determine your market value. Next: 1. Ask what they'd pay...

Why the difference in price? If you're making €60k with a range of benefits, why is this other firm not competitive? Can you get them for €70k, or even €80k? Here we see the contracting house's cut. They're probably billing the client at least €50/hr, or €100k/yr, offering you €50k/yr with...

That's OK. Although slightly to the right, statistically, your response time still fell within the first standard deviation on a normal distribution in our primary model. Based on this discussion, our projections indicate that you will set up some contrarian trades this week. We've already...

It's not just flat, it's a parallelogram.

You're a little late with this post. Our models projected that you'd put this out Wednesday of last week.

Can you clarify their offer? To hire you as a FTE at $30/hr? If it's FTE why are you quoting an hourly rate? Is that a salary (60k/yr)? Do you get health insurance, vacation time, and benefits?

1. What business arrangement? W2-hourly with benefits, 1099, or C2C? What is your current arrangement? 2. This is through an agency, right? Did you find out the margin on your time? What are they charging the client for an hour of your work? Based on your comments, it looks like you're going to...
