Crikey... not good for C#/IB/City although there are still plenty of niche roles in WPF paying well. -
Is it low because it's being sold as a way in...?
This is a rare opportunity to get into investment banking for candidates who doesn't have extensive financial service background but who have a very keen interest in finance.

As a way in it may be a good gig for someone but I'd still say for London it's very low.Last edited by ShandyDrinker; 8 April 2016, 10:48.Comment

Anecdotally what I am seeing is that apart from the ASP.Net MVC and associated flavour of the month js framework roles the use of C#/.Net seems to be declining (something that is backed up by tiobe and itjobswatch). This does seem to be in part the move in many organisations to things like Python. What I've been more surprised about recently is that it isn't just limited to IBs as I've seen other financial services clients move to Python too...Comment

IB is having its Napster moment
and the returns from actively managed funds are lower than passive or simple algo ones so IB is a smaller and smaller pie.
Expect it to get worse, the good times are over, find a new niche or retire or go permie etc etcComment
