I’m Being Head-Hunted!
I wrote the other day about how I was suddening coming back in demand as a content contributor to other websites and such. Apparently I wasn’t fully grasping the extent to which I may be in demand. Over the weekend I received the following:
I am currently looking for an AVP Snr FX Support guy to work for one of my clients (famous I-Bank) based in Singapore. Given that you know FX and VBA, I was wondering if you have any interests. If so, I can go over details. Can you let me know your current situation when you have a moment?
This came from a head hunter who appears to be based in Hong Kong.
Obviously, since I’m a forex analyst for the IFR Markets group of Thomson Reuters I do know a little bit about the forex market. For those who don’t know, VBA means Visual Basic for Applications. That’s the macro language used by Microsoft for its Office applications. In my case that means Excel macros, which I have done my fair share of developing over the years. That said, I haven’t specifically been a developer in a professional sense since the middle 90s.
As for whether I’d go for the type of job outlined, it would be a hard sell. I like where I’m at right now and have never really thought much about moving someplace like Singapore. I’m always willing to listen, though.
