I used to support the technology side of an "old school" trading floor order management system. In that job, hitting the wrong key meant that Hong Kong might not come up for trading tomorrow. That constant level of "I need to think through all of my actions" was both fulfilling but also very draining at times.

It was a very refreshing thought.
