phd in cs from a top univ. with solid background in cs&statistics |

My experience so far has been mostly with algorithms, time-series
forecasting, large-scale, high-dimensional data analysis, but I have little
knowledge/experience in stochastic calculus. Any suggestion on other skill
sets that would be useful?
PS: the head hunters seem to have little clue in what skill sets are
required for the positions they all trying to fill...
