The pressureFinance runs on outcomesnobody fully controls.
Markets move, clients panic, quarters close whether you are ready or not. The work asks people to stay calm while absorbing someone else's anxiety, hold a long view while being measured in short ones, and perform at a level that leaves little room for being human.
Most of the energy lost in this industry is not lost to the hours. It goes on carrying what cannot be controlled, and on the quiet pressure of being the person everyone else needs to be certain.
That is a draw on the account nobody is tracking.
