My workplaces for the past 17 years, summarized:

  1. Year: Learn the job.
  2. Year: Get really good at it.
  3. Year: Get bored with it.
  4. Year: Get fed up and quit.

Yeah. Mine too. It always goes down this path, and after 20 years of doing it, i actually decided to stop working and see if I can cut my costs a lot and live off stocks and savings.

Its also the feeling that i want to decide what I do every day, even if that just is doing nothing. Why cant i do nothing if I want to?

I have this variation:

  1. Get hired. Enjoy awesome coworkers and decent perks.
  2. Wait, this is a fintech company.
  3. Why did I go with a fintech company again? I hate fintech!
  4. Fuck it, I'm not quitting after a single year; I'm not gonna nuke my vacation planning two years in a row.
  5. Queue endless scrum meetings about badly defined PBIs referencing ancient versions of a poorly defined domain model.

I've never seen a sector of IT less organized, more averse to basic best practices, and more fixated on procedural boilerplate than fintech. It's like ADHD poison and my relationship with it can be summed up with these lines from the Muppet Show theme:

Why do we always come here? I guess we'll never know.
It's like some kind of torture to have to watch this show.
