About the Talk
Working
in the financial industry is one of the most challenging jobs out there in the
market. With the emergence of Internet,
different types of electronic trading are conducted almost round the
clock.
Network
down for more than few minutes could cost a company millions of dollars and can
cost you your job. IT plays an important
role in making sure that the trades are running smoothly.
The
amount of latest technologies that you can get your hands on is insurmountable
due to each company’s resiliency requirements.
IT encompasses diverse areas, but for this discussion, we will be
concentrating only on the networking side.
We are going to start our seminar with what a student should expect when
he/she graduates.
What
are these companies looking for in their network engineers and lastly how to
ace the technical interview?
