Recruiters say Wall Street firms are planning to hire more tech talent next year.Jobs at AI companies like Nvidia and OpenAI, or ones that work with their products, are highly sought after.Recruiters Ben Hodzic and Matt Stabile outline how jobseekers can stand out in the hiring process.It's been a tough year for software engineers on the job market, but one bright spot is starting to emerge on Wall Street for technologists looking for a new gig.Banks, hedge funds, and investment firms bullish on AI are expected to hire more tech talent in the new year, according to two headhunters who recruit engineers and data scientists for finance firms. That's good news for jobseekers in these sectors, which were long considered to be recession-proof careers but were hit this year with waves of layoffs, job freezes, and hiring cutbacks.Ben Hodzic, a managing director at recruitment firm Selby Jennings who finds talent for hedge funds and investment banks, told Business Insider there's "a lot of optimism" around AI in financial services. "Financial services institutions are slowly adopting their workflows and they've come to a reality where you need the right talent to actually build and implement and manage those products," he said.In some cases, the hiring spree is already happening. Jamie Dimon, the boss of America's biggest bank JPMorgan Chase, said earlier this year that he's anticipating adding thousands of jobs related to AI in the next few years. Hedge fund and proprietary-trading firms are shelling out as much as $350,000 in annual salaries for top-tier AI researchers and engineers. Meanwhile, private-equity firms have been "clamoring" to hire AI operating executives to improve their portfolio companies.Hodzic said the rosier outlook stems from a desire to build AI tools in-house and boost worker productivity in areas like wealth advisory, investment banking, and trading. More clarity on the direction of macroeconomic factors, like inflation and the impacts of the US election, is also providing tailwinds for banks looking to invest in human capital in 2025, he said.While AI is expected to drive an uptick in tech hiring, the technology is also changing what it takes to get a tech job on Wall Street. BI spoke with recruiters to find out how candidates should adapt and what they need to do to stand out. They outlined some of the industry's most in-demand skills, explained why having Big Tech experience might not get you that far anymore, and shared the companies that hiring managers want to see on resumes. They declined to disclose specific client activity due to privacy agreements.Here's what software engineers need to know to get hired on Wall Street

Doctor Who fans are getting an extra special treat under the Christmas tree today with the arrival of Joy to the World, this years special holiday episode. But theyre getting an even better present wrappedwithin it: because beyond the broad festive wrappings of the episode, this bigger-on-the-inside adventure has a side story that could stand alone as a fantastic episode ofWho in its own rights. About a third of the way into its run time Joy to the World takes a sideways step. After setting up the Time Hotel the Doctor is staying ata business of myriad gateways currently set to send guests to every Christmas in historywere quickly whisked through a bunch of those doorways as he follows a strange suitcase hopping between handcuffed, seemingly vacant hosts. The Doctor and the briefcases current host, a Silurian manager at the hotel, find themselves going through a door into Christmas 2024 in London, where they both meet a young woman named Joy in her run-down hotel room. Some chaos later, the Doctor discovers the suitcase is somehow disintegrating hosts after it hops to a new one: the Silurian dies and Joy is latched onto as the briefcases latest carrier, making her chant ominous warnings about a star seed blooming. Before the Doctor can get a real grasp of whats going on with the suitcase the Doctor walks through the door. This Doctor, from some point in the future, brushes off his predecessors annoyance at him not providing any information about how to solve the mystery of the briefcase, as he begins to whisk Joy out of the room and leave our Doctor, forced to figure things out the long way around. The door slams shut, and we stay on the perspective of our Doctor, who realizes that hes now stuck in 2024 with no TARDIS and no way back for a whole year.What follows is an extended sequence that is brimming with the potential to be a killer episode of Doctor Who in its own right. With no money or place to stay, the Doctor has to offer his services to the manager of the hotel, Anita (Steph de Whalley, in a genuinely fantastic supporting turn), doing odd jobs, renting out whatwas Joys room. The Doctor is working on trying to figure out the suitcase in his downtime, sure, but hes still forced to sit moment to moment, in one place, and actually live out a life he usually doesnt have to experience. This is not an ideaDoctor Who is entirely unfamiliar with, of course. The first half of much of the Third Doctors entire existence was built on the premise that the Doctor was exiled on contemporary Earth and forced to make do for himself, but he was still regularly going on adventures in his capacities as UNITs scientific adviser. The Fourteenth Doctors arc concludes with him being granted the grace to exist and live out a life with Donna and her family, freed from the need to be the Doctor. Steven Moffat in particular, who wrote Joy to the World, was fascinated with the idea throughout his tenure as showrunner; episodes like The Lodger, The Power of Three, and even a prior holiday special, The Husbands of River Song, all tackle the idea of the Doctor, either through choice or circumstance, momentarily giving up his life as a wanderer in the fourth dimension to live normally.But in contrast to this sequence in Joy to the World, those past episodes only really examine them in abstract, the fact that the Doctor is spending a disproportionate amount of time in one place, in one moment, largely in the background against the actual reason for it. And that is, honestly, because Doctor Who is a show we all watch to see the Doctor traveling through time and space, fighting monsters, and saving worlds from calamitous destruction. Making him live a normal human life is a rarity because, as the Doctor initially bristles himself here, its just kind of a bit boring for a sci-fi action adventure show. And yet, for a good third of the episodeand arguably the episode at its bestwe are asked to sit with the Doctor as he lives out this year, getting to know Anita better, getting to know what its like to live like this, better, to the point that when the time comes that his year is up and he has to say good bye to his new friend, its almost as heartbreaking as losing a companion. There is no grand threat or mystery, the Doctor isnt even particularly counting down the clock, even if he knows he has Joys room at the hotel booked for just a year, instead the whole sequence becomes about exploring the potential of this different lens into the Doctors life and sense of being.Crucially too, its a necessary period of healing for this particular Doctor, to make a friend and then part ways with them in this way. Not simply because the last season of Doctor Who really struggled with its domestic element to make the Doctor and Ruby feel like the friends the series constantly told us they were, but because its not with Joy, the de facto companion of the special that the Fifteenth Doctor processes his loneliness after parting ways with Ruby. Its only with Anita, and its her connection and inspiration that pushes him to move forward in the wake of losing his first friend, one of the first people he imprinted on in this incarnation. Again, this is something past holiday specials have touched on tooThe Runaway Bride and the Tenth Doctors feelings over Rose, and Voyage of the Damned and the, uh, Tenth Doctors feelings over Marthabut their ultimate conclusion are reminders that the Doctor needs someone to share adventures with. For a moment, and at is brightest, Joy to the World asks us and the Doctor alike if life itself is the adventure he needs to share with someone, rather than Time and Space.You can now watch Doctor Whos Joy to the World on Disney+ around the world, and on the BBC in the UK and Ireland.

The Pages residence is located within a gated community on the outskirts of Santa Cruz. The property faces a green area of the community, allowing for open views from the house.Save this picture!Save this picture!The project was designed with a 120x120 cm module, which determines the specific sizes of each space in the house, as well as the circulation and the interior-exterior relationship of the design. The approach is straightforward and simple, as it embraces the irregularity of the land, creating a distinctive gesture in the formal image of the house.Save this picture!The final image of the project is essentially a direct expression of the construction system, presented almost literally. It features two horizontal planes supported by inverted beams, screen walls, and a bidirectional lightened slab with a BubbleDeck system. This creates a sense of material regularity both inside and outside the house. This apparent regularity in the design is disrupted at the entrance and garage by a large 6.5-meter cantilever, resolved through the inverted beams that support the slab, breaking the projects regularity.Save this picture!The project uses a limited palette of materials, such as concrete, wood, and glass. This material consistency encapsulates the entire project, fostering a sense of peace and tranquility inside. The design carefully considers orientation, with large cantilevers extending toward the green area to provide open views and protect the interior from sunlight. The horizontal planes define the overall image of the project, conveying the fluid interior-exterior connection that characterizes the house.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeSommetOfficeMaterialConcreteMaterials and TagsPublished on December 25, 2024Cite: "The Pages Residence / Sommet" [Casa Pages / Sommet] 25 Dec 2024.

Many of us have a game franchise that, despite liking everything we hear about it, we have never actually played any of the games. I have a few, but one notable blind spot in my gaming resume was Yakuza, or as it's called now, Like A Dragon.I'd been told by many friends that the series has something for everyone, from heavy action scenes to lighthearted goofiness, all with real emotion at the center and yet I still never found the time. This year saw the release of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and for a while I thought it would be just another game to add to my backlog. However, thanks to a freelance opportunity, I finally found my excuse to play a Like A Dragon game for the first time.Listening to Orlando's story.Through the first few chapters, I was enjoying myself, but I wasn't yet seeing what others had told me about the series all these years. That changed in Chapter 4, when I approached a shaved-ice shop on the streets of Hawaii, and Substory 24: Let It Snow began.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The superhero genre has long been a dominant force in Hollywood, delivering massive box office numbers and capturing the imaginations of audiences worldwide. However, 2024 marked a year of reckoning for Marvel, DC and comic book movies in general. As the once-reliable formula for success began to show significant cracks. With only one film, MarvelsDeadpool and Wolverineachieving a Rotten Tomatoes score above 50%, the genre finds itself at a critical juncture. The tepid reception of this year's offerings has sparked conversations among fans, critics, and industry insiders alike about the future of superhero cinema.

Helldivers 2 has entered a big period of change, and it's paying off in some big ways. The Illuminate faction, long teased by leakers, has finally arrived to threaten Super Earth, and it comes with a new urban terrain type for players to navigate. Perhaps most exciting is the new tool players can use to explore that terrain: the Fast Recon Vehicle, or FRV. A car has been at the top of player wish lists for months, so it's a relief to finally get a proper mode of transportation. It might get reckless Helldivers killed once in a while, but it's well worth it in the name of managed democracy.
