Re: "Experience of trading envirnonment"
Snaw I don't disagree that there developers in UK investment banks don't experience a great deal of pressure. It just doen't need to be that way.
I'm currently working on a trading system that processes billions of dollars; it is one of the largest trading systems in Europe, and I'm experiencing about as as much pressure as Mrs Mopp in her sweet shop.
In the UK engineering, design/development processes are often very badly organised; this applies to all sorts of industries, and as a consequence people are put under emmense pressure. If systems are thoroughly tested BEFORE they go into production, then the ensuing problems are quite minor, hence low levels of pressure.
Occasionally traders would congratulate us on a job well done, and they would be very understanding of problems that did occur because they were very satisfied.
From a distance I have seen UK development teams in action and it is not a pretty sight !!! (young twenty-odd years olds without a clue).
