Now you have my attention
Of course, you’ll need to bring the right set of tools to keep everything running smoothly. A solid background in Computer Science or a closely related field is crucial. As is a few years of experience in IT Support. A few years of relevant experience with Windows and Mac, and preferably even Linux, will also definitely come in handy, though we’re mainly focused on the willingness and ability to learn. Ultimately, a lot will come down to your mindset and attitude. Being pragmatic, pro-active, and always user-focused is key.
So this trading thing, what does it pay?
Pretty damn well, to be honest. Starting with a base salary between €40.000 and €55.000 gross a year, excluding the secondary benefits. And those secondary benefits, are second to none. From a fully catered lunch every day and flexible working to a royal end of year bonus. You know I said speed was key? What are you waiting for? Click apply!
