The article doesn't mention crushing bureaucracy, intense regulation, old huge systems, outsourced everything.
Nowadays you're supporting a 10 year old inbred system trying to implement some new regulatory project. No root access, often no access to production, github blocked at the firewall, 4 releases a year, half the staff in India.
Plus wages are lower than 10 years ago
Yeah Wall St was great. Not so much any more.
- mh_yam 10y agoReally depends on your team. I work on a small team in a huge investment bank and we are working on new nice-looking apps. I usually don't have to deal with audit, risk management, compliance, regulators, etc. When I do it's usually minimal. We don't have root access but we have full access to production. We release twice a week. I have to deal somewhat with India but it's bearable
