Generalists are hard to come by these days.
I think you're more likely to find a network engineer with (possibly limited) programming skills.
I wish. For the past three months I've been trying to find a network engineer with a deep TCP/IP protocol understanding, network security expertise, some Linux experience, minor programming skill with sockets and a TS/SCI clearance. The clearance is killing me. The two generalists didn't have a clearance and the cleared applicants are programmers or admins but never both.

Good Luck guys like these are being scooped up by large financial firms and hedgefunds and they don't come cheap ~$250k easy!
Not all of them. I've been approached a few times but there is something sleazy about helping a bunch of tycoons do millisecond timing attacks against the market. The money doesn't magically appear. Every dollar they squeeze out that way is stolen from some grandmother who has held the stock for 20 years. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
