software industry -> financial services industry?

i have a pretty strong background in the software industry. i'm thinking about moving to the financial services industry, either immediately if i find a great opportunity, or once the current turmoil subsides and more opportunities become available.

my questions: (1) what would you consider to be the best firms out there for people from software background? and (2) do you have recommendations for headhunters who specialize in these people?

i'm interested in very well-compensated positions in the industry, both software-oriented ones and non-software ones (if i can get any!). feel free to PM me. thanks.
