Madoff was paying $300k for his IT guy to keep the IBM 286 machine, green screens, and golfball printer using line printer paper working. Good Luck 
Pretty funny. My first printer was an old IBM Selectric-style "golfball" printer I converted to run off a Z-80 computer. Somewhere around 1980?Quote from Trendytrader:

Sure made a racket, but it worked!
Hi Sammy,
If you have an account on LinkedIn, you should look through some of the groups there (e.g. High Frequency Trading, Algorithmic Trading, Electronic Trading, etc.) as there are job postings, some with pay and bonus, but more importantly, there are other IT career and skill sets (and recruiters) in the membership. You'll probably get a more direct answer to your question.

I've noticed that membership in the IEEE seems to add about +25k extra to the job offered, initial salary when we hire IT people. And each publication in an IEEE-published, refereed journal is worth (VERY approximately!) +20k if you're the lead author, +5k if you're author #2 thru N. So if you're in that category of charmed candidates, *Be* *Sure* *To* *Mention* *It*. Some types of engineers get paid more than others; why not take advantage if you can!
