Did PEAK6 blow out?

anyone know anything about this rumor?

 

I have no idea, but two days ago their HR called me to try and hire me. It would seem that is contradictory to what you are saying.

I heard the same rumor about peak6. no idea if its true. someone said they saw a headline on reuters. jim

 

mind if i ask how they found you? pm me if you like.

 

So what did you answer related to the offer , if I may ask ? Would be good to know somebody from this board is working within PEAK6... By the way, related to the thread => tried to get some infos by calling them directly, but still nobody responsible in yet...

 

Could you post link please? Did a search couldnt find it.

 

total rumor...i couldnt find a link either. jim

 

Peak6 rumors surface every time we see a lot of vol. They take on a lot of risk.

 

I have taken down my resume from Monster and Dice. Inspite of that, I get bombarded with about 30 calls a day from either the firm or recruiting firms representing firms.

Every once in a while I get a really interesting call.

I don't work for Peak6.

I know someone that does some very high level recruiting. He said that Peak6 has sort of a "rough" reputation. While I usually just take that as input and don't put much weight on it, the source in this case was of the highest order, so I could not ignore it.

If a firm has a really interesting opportunity, I generally ignore opinons on the firm, no matter what anyone/who says. For example, one firm was looking for someone to do research using state of the art AI algorithms on large datasets. I think that would be really interesting...
