[nylug-talk] [nylug-job] D. E. Shaw Research, LLC. seeks Systems Administrator (servers, cliusters, supercomputers)

[Rajesh Menon]

I just want to raise a flag for this particular firm (like we had
k-force), and this is from my personal experience. They keep putting
out these ads that mention highly technical terms and qualifications
required. In this case, biochem, supercomputers ...
Has anyone on the list ever replied to any of these ads from them, and
gotten any response? Even an auto response?

Thanks.
