Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Haskell in Industry

Rather than high turnover it indicates (in my experience) that it's difficult to fill positions in finance. That's one reason they are advertised repeatedly. On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 12:27 PM, Ivan Lazar Miljenovic wrote:

It's disproportionate.  95% of the job offerings in functional programming are with investment firms.

I'm not sure that is really true.  You might see more adverts for financial jobs, but often those jobs may be advertised multiple times, because different headhunters see an opportunity to earn a slice of the pie.  By contrast, non-financial FP jobs are likely to be advertised only once, or not at all, because candidates are easily found.

It could also indicate high turn-over for investment firm jobs... (i.e. people get sick of it).
