Interactive Brokers Trading Olympiad
Attention all programming/computer science students! Have you been thinking about the post-graduation working world, wondering where to start looking for an interesting job with a great salary and lots of potential for growth? If you're like most technically oriented students, you probably haven't even considered the financial services industry, but that may be the first place you'll want to look. Why? In a nutshell, after years of simply refusing to keep technological pace with the rest of the world, this venerable industry has finally seen the light-that cutting-edge technology is good for business! Now they are rushing to catch up, which means that all of these companies are suddenly competing to attract top programming talent!
Want to see if you might enjoy that industry? Now you can, with no commitment and the possibility of great rewards! Greenwich, CT-based Interactive Brokers Group, a worldwide leader in market-making and broker-dealer services, announces their fourth annual IB Collegiate Trading Olympiad. This event gives future leaders in technology (that's you!) an opportunity to test their skills in a real-world scenario by developing and implementing a program-trading application that runs against live market data. You're still not sure you want to do it? What if we told you that you'd be eligible to win $1,000, $10,000, 50,000 or $100,000 cash and possibly receive an offer of a full-time position with IB?
For more details, rules, and a contest application, go to the IB website's Olympiad page. Get going, your future is waiting!
