Well, I have taken courses in C++ and Java, and I have also done computational research in Fortran and macros in Excel. I wouldn't say I have exceptional programming skill, but I can hold my own. Do I need to be an exceptional programmer in order to find work? How should I showcase my ability, and is there anything I can do before I start applying for jobs to help bolster my resume?
Actually, I work in a Chicago market maker now.
