Hey folks, a headhunter got a hold of me recently for a senior-level role at Hudson River Trading.

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@Dio9sys @da_667 Ignore me. Bad joke. Hostage Rescue Team is another common HRT.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @Dio9sys actually looks like they do.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @Dio9sys

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @Dio9sys That's awesome.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @Dio9sys yeah, I kinda have regrets because up to 250k plus healthcare premiums covered is REALLY fucking good, even if it is near NYC, but I'm in no mood to go back to the east coast. One tour out there was enough.

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @Dio9sys Yeah you couldn't pay me enough to move to NY.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @Dio9sys or anywhere near it. I was in and around the Nova/DC/MD for about 10 years, and... It was enough for me. Way too many people, in way too small a space for me.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @Dio9sys Met great people, went to great cons and hacker spaces, I miss them, but not enough to deal with beltway traffic or people ever again.

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @Dio9sys holy shit do I miss Wegmans though

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @Dio9sys Same. I like hanging out in Seattle and Portland but would have a hard time living in city, and they're nowhere near NYC in size.

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @Dio9sys The food in the cities is so good but at least where I am, the good stuff is spreading further out from downtown so that's nice.

[iagox86@infosec.exchange]

@cR0w @da_667 @Dio9sys I think I'd enjoy NYC, but I'm 43 and have friends in Seattle. I can't imagine moving for work these days, that feels so old fashioned

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@iagox86 @cR0w @Dio9sys I know. Oil is at an all-time high. Can we just like... Get WFH back?

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 @iagox86 @Dio9sys Especially for computer boopers.

[dio9sys@haunted.computer]

@da_667

@cR0w

omg hrt hrt

[dio9sys@haunted.computer]

@da_667

@cR0w

I am perfectly happy to be a short train ride away from Boston, but I get the heeby jeebies any time I am in the DC metro area and see all those guys with lanyards speedwalking

[tzz@infosec.exchange]

@da_667 I work at Hudson River Trading (doing systems engineering) and am happy to answer questions if that helps anyone interested. The company is hiring for many other roles and has offices in NYC, Chicago, London, Dublin, Singapore, and a few other smaller US offices.
