I work in finance and I absolutely love it. We're pretty big. Half the work is regulation, especially in places where corruption and crime is rampant. But we still get to make cool products.
I think the trick is cutting down overhead because there's already so much friction inherent as it is. Management skill is essential, as every hour management buys for developers gives back good returns. Something like defensive programming is also a great return on investment as bugs just leads to more processes and chaos later.
- bradwood 5y agoWhilst management often sucks in big banks. What gets me down is the process drag. Everything is ITIL signoffs, death by bikeshedding, and quarterly releases. Silos abound and the pernicious affect of Conway's law applies to turn most of it into a massive cluster fuck of spaghetti and string. No thanks.
