So I got a call from Greg Brill, Nick Landry's boss in New York, who runs
Infusion. They are in the financial trading software business. He's looking to get some ".NET Rocks! Listener" quality developers to come to New York for one year and work for them. To sweeten the pot, he's kicking in a
free apartment in New York and air fare for one year. He also indicated that they would help with moving expenses. I talked to Greg about this on
.NET Rocks! this week. It's right at the beginning of the show.
This is a
great opportunity for any .NET developer to get some killer experience swimming with the sharks in the Big Apple. I don't know if you've been keeping up with rent in NYC, but check out this quote from a
recent article about NYC real estate prices in Forbes Magazine:
"In Manhattan specifically, the average rent came in at a whopping
$48.33 per square foot--an estimate supported by July figures from
Citi Habitats,
a New York City-area real estate agency. The median monthly rent for a
studio apartment in Manhattan is more than $1,900, according to Citi
Habitats. If it's a three-bedroom spread that you're after, prepare to
fork over somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000."
So, consider doing the Jerry Seinfeld thing for a year, save up some cash, and get experience working for a major financial software company. Oh, and you get to pal around with ActiveNick. No extra charge. :-)
