betfair graduate scheme for techies

[Chilly]

Hi All,

My company, Betfair, is currently recruiting for this year's crop of tech graduates. If you are graduating this year and fancy £26k a year starting + ~10% bonus and BUPA, give me a ping. Based in London, split between Hammersmith (HQ) and central london (tech office), starting sept this year.

do you need any technical ability or are you looking for managerial/project leader types?

Betfair needs to hire me as a poker room consultant, £80k/year pro rata.

Fairly convinced I'd be worth 1mill/year for at least 3 years.

Sigh, keep me a spot open for when I grad?

pez: its for nerds only
eca: yes, we know our poker isnt quite as good as it might be
overdriven: ofc, sorry theres been no luck on the other front.

 

[Jupitus]

Overdriven - what are you after - drop me a PM.

Understatement of the year

I'd even wear a suit for that little money, which is pretty shocking

 

[Chilly]

yeah well I cant go around saying betfair poker is a steaming pile of shite can I?

It's not that bad it has it's upsides ( sick hands/hr ), but apart from that everything needs a lot of work. There are even security issues!

She Who Must Be Adored is scary when it comes to playing poker (ex croupier/inspector). Unfortunately she despises the game after having worked in a casino.

Tbh.. live ( casino ) poker is terrible.

I cannot stand it myself in general.
The people, the rudeness to dealers, the pace of the game. urgh.

I know that STFC offers placements but it looks like you have missed the deadline for applications.

1 Year Sandwich Student Placement

I guess you could always email them and find out if they would consider any late applications.

 

[Chilly]

just in case anyone was seriously considering it. applications for this close tomorrow evening.
