How about you see if you can get an educational copy. We'll have a little team/challenge exercise. We'll devote 3 hours a week for education, we'll come up with some type of test for each other, we'll help each other (see, I have a real motive) when we can't figure shit out, and we'll take a year. Competitive study buddies. At that point I'll have enough track record and experience to move big, and you'll have an easy high priced entry (write your own terms) with pretty much any org in the industry.

Post #381,685 by Another Scott 10/5/13 10:53:33 AM Reply	Serious question(s). What's to keep Giant Global Finance Corp, LLC, from bringing US superstar in for that Q position and using said superstar to train a group of superstars in Mumbai to do said Q job for $15k a year? And said US superstar thereby cutting his own throat, and making himself unemployable in the future? "Amazing resume, US superstar. Unfortunately, you're overqualified and we can't pay your rate. If we hired you, you'd just jump ship in a few months when something better came along. We can't afford to do that. Sorry." ? Or is US superstar expected to make himself indispensable by doing everything in SuperQ that s/he creates and nobody else can understand? I thought indispensable people had to be fired by "sensible" management because they were too dangerous to the business's future? ? Thanks. Cheers, Scott.

So #1: There are NO superstars in this situation, they are ALL superstars, in both capability and general mentality. The barrier for entry is too damn high. That includes management and how they handle the "talent". http://www.kx.com/q/d/kdb+1.htm As Bt taught me, As want to work with As, B want to work with Cs. These people are As and they keep it that way. As are always in demand. So, no worries on either side.

We had a room in the back and continuous stream of mind blowing stuff. Mmm, kobe beef. I figure after I prove myself with python I'll move to kdb+/q. Since you already have some trading background you will have a leg up. And since we love python here, it'll be a double win for you. Hmm, some type of python engine to generate q code. Just a thought. Went to 1st day of 2 day course python course yesterday. Yum, generators. Now that is a nice time saver. As I'm reading the docs, I keep on thinking of Modula. And then the docs refer to Modula, saying the OO semantics are very close to it, but Guido rarely uses Modula terminology because so few people ever heard of it.
