Copying my comment from last time which went unnoticed:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11448323" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11448323</a><p>Thomas and Patrick:
First, I want to thank you for trying to address one of the most frustrating part of a developer&#x27;s career.<p>As you know very well, after Silicon Valley, it&#x27;s the finance companies in NYC area who pay top notch developer salaries. Even though I am a competent developer, it was quite a struggle for me to break in to the finance industry (They only wanted to hire people with finance experience). It took me a little while but I was able to break in. Now I am over that hump but I am faced with another problem. I have been working in &#x27;Back office&#x27; for hedge funds for several years and would like to transition to &#x27;Front office&#x27; and I am faced with the same problem again. I am not able to switch roles because I don&#x27;t have experience working in the front office. The Stock Fighter CTF is a perfect way to demonstrate the relevant ability to prospective employers. Do you guys have any plan to work with hedge funds&#x2F;investment banks for your recruiting platform?
