I am a UK software developer, living in Cambridge and working in London.
I used to be a mathematician, and I have put some of my old research data onto this website too.
I like:
- Coffee
- Reading
- J. S. Bach
- Silly maths jokes
- Programming!
I dislike:
- Being apologised to by automated messages (“we are very sorry for the severe delay to your journey”)
- Ironing
- The phrase “going forward”
- Patents on software

/ March 8, 2012Hi Simon,
Apologies for the un-introduced approach, we have not spoken before. I appreciate that you must receive multiple emails like this, but please understand that this is a genuine approach.
Cutting to the chase, I have been asked to approach you for a very specific search I am conducting. I have been retained by a leading Algorithmic Trading Fund, with offices in Europe and the United States. I appreciate that you may have no interest in the Financial (Quant Trading) Space but please bear with me….
My client is currently working on a very specific and unique mandate for technologists and researchers. They have a particular interest in speaking to individuals who, like yourself, have been working at Google. The reason being is that they are looking for the top 0.1% and are aware that Google hires only the brightest and talented individuals. To give you an idea, my client has recently employed a number of individuals from the likes of IBM, Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, eBay etc and is looking for around 20-30 more Technologists and Researchers.
Whilst this may appear very non-specific, I must point out that over the telephone I am able to give a better insight into this. Unfortunately, my client must minimise the spread of information to the market due to its current success, thus maximising confidentiality. However, I am able to point out that voluntary turnover within this firm is only 3%, due to the opportunities, growth, peers and of course compensation. They are willing to offer inflated basics, guaranteed bonuses and relocation packages – as well as cash instead of stock options.
I would be very interested to discuss this in further detail with you for just five minutes; would you be amenable to this; and also, would you know of anyone else that would be too as there are around 15 positions?
Kind regards,
Luke Jackson

Do you the algorithm to find the 1500 number in the series, using numbers 2,3,5. I saw your post on a site.
