a good friend of mine, who is in IT, took a job at QF in the IT department, he left after just 3 months, being paid just $45K, his reason was extremely inflexible managers who refused to listen to ways to improve the service etc, so he quit and took a job paying $120K at JP Morgan.
is it little wonder that QF cant (dont want) IT staff at a pissy wage of between 30 to 40K?
