London finance infra/system engineers
Hi guys,
Recently stumbled across a job advert for a senior Linux infrastructure engineer (systems and platform) for a company in Mayfair, London.
https://www.quant-capital.co.uk/jobs/senior-linux-infrastructure-engineer-systems-platform/
Was shocked at the advertised range, and the job spec seemed pretty brief but ordinary for an SRE/Devops oriented infra engineer.
I just wondered if anyone here has experience in a role very similar to this in the financial sector, could maybe talk a bit with me about what a day in the life looks like? Common issues they deal with and whether it’s actually enjoyable work so I can decide if this is a path I want to continue working towards or if this is back to back burnout kind of role?
For reference I’m currently an infrastructure engineer in the north of the UK earning less than half the bottom range of this role being advertised - but I’ve only ever worked in MSP/CSP/ISP environments.
Any insight would be appreciated, this has really got me considering my career path choices…
