Dear Dominic, The Reg Career Agony Aunt
Following a suggestion by a Reg reader, I'm going to experiment with being a Career agony aunt. As a City headhunter for quants, algotraders and ITPros I do this already, but usually on a one to one basis.
The idea is that you put up dilemmas, fears, questions, etc and I pick the ones I think will be generally interesting and for which I can think of a decent answer.
Be aware that although I write for the Reg, I have no access to the system that runs this forum, indeed I hardly ever get invited to the Reg offices being only a humble freelancer. That gives a decent degree of anonymity, just so long as you don't pick a user name of the form DepressedSteveBrownAtCapita, but conversely being what the system marks as "Anonymous Coward" makes it hard for me to link back.
Also be aware that the answers will follow my standard writing style which I characterize as "malicious frankness", lots of examples on the Reg and elsewhere allow you to see what that means.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
