LONDON - VMS Developers - C/Sybase Skills - Front/Middle Office Development - X-Train to Unix

Several of our global investment banking clients based in the City are
looking for experienced VAX/VMS programmers with 'C' programming
skills to develop and enhance financial applications in their Front
and Middle office trading groups.

You will be responsible for on-going development or new development of
systems using VMS and C. Some of our clients are replacing their DEC
hardware with new SPARC or RISC architectures. The opportunity exists
for VAX/C developers to cross-train into UNIX/Sybase and C++.

Candidates must have a strong VAX/VMS and C development background.
You do not need previous financial industry experience, but this would
obviously be an advantage. Good presentation skills are a must. 

My clients offer an excellent salary package. This includes a base
salary of up to 55k, plus Bonus, and BB's.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a top quality financial
company, who value the skills of their computer professionals. These
are not 9 to 5 opportunities. Instead my clients offer interesting
projects and room to grow within the organization.

I did, kind of... It said up to and excellent, besides of that you are
right, 55k would translate into $90K which is a good salary, just the word
excellent seems a litle bit exaggerated. In addition, the toppic "porting"
implies a temporary assignment. The same job done by a consulting company
would probably cost 4 times as much...

You do realise that 55k plus is presumably in pounds sterling?

Alan, you do realize what contract rates are currently? That is
quite high for a permie salary but they are obviously having problems
recruiting because I've seen this ad several time in comp.os.vms
recently.
