Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- (January 14, 2011, New York) Technology specialists are beginning to play an increasingly important role in the field of finance. Golden Networking’s High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2011 will provide a thorough understanding and practical knowledge of high-frequency trading for executives and professionals working in finance and investments, from Financial Institutions, Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds, Broker Dealers, Consultancy Groups, Prime Brokers, Solution Providers, Exchanges, ATSs, ECNs and MTFs.

According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, high-frequency trading and electronic market-making firms on Wall Street are spending more and more on technology. And “as technology becomes increasingly important to Wall Street, securing the computer programmers and software engineers who harness it best has become a priority.”

“The recruitment battle comes as the high-frequency trading industry, while garnering an ever-greater portion of market volume, grapples with image problems. The industry's reputation has suffered in the wake of the financial crisis and last year's May 6 "flash crash," which drew the attention of regulators. And for idealistic graduates, the luster of working for the cutting-edge social-networking or Web-search firms like Facebook Inc. or Google Inc. can outshine even a hefty paycheck.

Key to trading firms' appeal is their pay. A new high-frequency trading programmer with no advanced degree can expect to make between $75,000 to $95,000 in the first year, plus a bonus, which can add an additional 10% to 50%, according to Objective Paradigm, a recruiting company that works with proprietary-trading firms.” This is about 10% above what tech firms generally offer.
