One of my friends is affected by this and because of her skill set a large bank is the only feasible place she can work. She's just like "yep I just have to put up with it." The mobility in tech that makes it generally harder for employers to get away with this nonsense is underrated.

The only SWE jobs in finance that really match or exceed FAANG and other top (or even mid tier) tech companies are a very select few elite hedge funds and trading shops.
