My occupation involves financial data, stocks, options, futures, and so forth, from all over the world. I’m sure you are familiar with stocks and the two basic ways you can get stock information. You can get it “real time” (like the old fashioned ticker tape or those numbers that roll around at the bottom of financial networks) or you can get it “end of day” (like those numbers you see in the newspaper). I work with the latter, only my product collects these numbers from all over the world so is effectively a 24/7 system.
I’m technically in development, but I am currently on the support side of development. So when a file is late, or missing, or something isn’t just right and the various other lines of support does not have a simple answer, they send it down to me.
