I am not sure whether this would be an interesting topic for wanna-be entrepreneurs of HN but I don't know of any other place with such brilliant skills. The question is, "Does it make sense to try one's luck with one of the extremely high paying C++ jobs?" I am referring to FX programming and writing automated trading software. They are the best paid programmers as far as I know.
I am reasonable at C++. But I am a bit skeptical about their high pays: Why is it hard for them to find skilled C++ programmers in the FX domain?
