If you want to indulge in a bit of industrial espionage, just read the help wanted ads. They basically give away the store right there with their “demandments”

Actually, choosing one of the aforementioned jobs is really a vote on your tolerance for bureaucracy more than any particular technology.

Worked for an investment bank, and have the tire tracks on my back to prove it.

I think I have done a good job of holding onto the real talent

You sound a bit bitter too. Still morose about the fact that I’m leaving?

I’m sure you’ll do just fine despite your obvious short-comings

From what I can see your ‘friend’ has under engineered for the past few years and we are left picking up the pieces

Coming from somebody who abused this over-spending system from both sides fo the fence. First as a consultant “sooooolving” problems then as an architect.

My friend as been sucked into the Java over-engineering business over the past few years working in London

Hey Stef, just sounds the tiniest bit bitter.

In fact it sounds like your ‘friend’ is no longer young enough to be considered a bright spark out of uni but not old enough to be part of the architecture astronaut ‘elite’ and so jobless either way.

There’s a few investment companies looking. Check out Trafigura who’s offering internships working on Erlang (http://graduates.trafigura.com/).

Also for Erlang jobs in London have a look here. http://www.technojobs.co.uk/jobs-in/london/Erlang
