Haha, Bloomberg is not a suit and shirt place! When I worked there, I wore sandals, shorts, and a t-shirt. Lots of other people (including my manager's manager) did the same. There was also a guy dressed like a heavy metal rocker who was in meetings with guys in suits all the time.
I am officially retiring from this conversation :-)
I did not mean to imply any improprietary, just a passing glance at a site, and a middle aged man who should know the by-ways of the net better (me).
Sounds like a fun fire-hose to get to work with - enjoy.
(Actually I would be interested in getting a flavour of the sizes of data sets, time constraints you work under, tools of choice (trading off performance and reliability) - real time massive data is where most of us are heading, would be interesting to hear letters back from Mason and Dixon)
Just struck me as an odd choice when posting for a seemingly suit and shirt place like Bloomberg.
