Finance jobs at Google
I read a while ago on WSO that Google was hiring traders to manage their cash. Do they still have traders? Also what other types of finance jobs are there at Google and do they pay well?

Two stories with advice from two top companies (KPMG and Google) - how they select their candidates and what it takes to be hired:
"I’m looking for people who can hit the ground running immediately. They need to be able to run a project, engage with clients and with partners, deal with multiple projects and priorities and also manage junior consultants."
