What are the specifics of working in a bank?

Question

Career in IT

Hello.
I want to ask knowledgeable people about working in banks for developers and fronts in particular.

I accepted an offer from the bank (top 10), for good and even very money, the stack was interesting, those social security was adequate, in general I like everything, BUT then my colleagues began to frighten me that they say working in a bank is a tin in terms of approvals, regulations and etc. Everything is simple at the current place, there is a task, and there is either one that solves this problem, if this one is at least like + 50,000 weekly jumps, then I use npm without any problems ... --save-dave and that's it But the bank doesn't work that way. I read, here is a review of one back from another bank, so he only set up the environment for 3 weeks (he received rights, coordinated, etc.). For me, 3 weeks to set up a slave. environment, sounds really wild.

In this regard, I want to ask if everything is so rotten in banks for developers?

In this regard, I want to ask if everything is so rotten in banks for developers?

Well, it depends on what you think is useful.
If you get paid 3 weeks to set up your env, what's the problem?

there is either one that solves this problem, if this one is at least somehow + 50,000 weekly races

In many companies where they try in security or at least pretend that they are trying, +50.000 weekly jumps is not a documentary evidence. They may be some kind of internal audit. It’s not a fact that it’s working at all, it’s important that a separate team is responsible for the audit, and without its approval you can’t just take random software on the internet.
Yes, this is often the case. Sometimes the appruval is complex, sometimes it is simple.
In any case, working in a bank is peculiar, but over time you understand why it is so, and you look at many things .. with understanding.
If they really enrage - well, change jobs.

The specifics of working in a bank is that no one in the bank invents anything. all requirements for the work of the bank in all areas are strictly regulated by the regulator. in our realities, this is the national bank of your country. step to the right, step to the left, it doesn't happen. up to and including revocation of the license. For the first few weeks, the happy newcomer reads the Talmud, which is called the Law on Banking and Banking, Regulations on the Department, Job Description. etc. etc. thousands of them!
and your commentator was just checked before being allowed to do something really important. moreover, he also probably violated some internal instruction by publishing the details of his quest.
so all questions on the use of any third-party code will be coordinated with the appropriate authority. usually this is a division of the security service, cybersecurity is not subordinate to IT.
in practice, it looks like all external turnips will be stupidly locked. you need to be the last moron to pull off a piece of code from somewhere at your own peril and risk and shove it into a program that counts other people's money. To prevent this from happening, a regulation was invented.
this is the first negative. the second minus is that wages in the bank react slowly to market trends. plus will be that all processes are debugged to the smallest detail. and the bank also pays a high official salary and, accordingly, large deductions in pension funds and social insurance are made for you. well, I saw the real specification and documentation only in the bank. none of the software companies spent resources on this. here the question is debatable, there are products that have been living for decades, on which everything can be different. I, alas, did not come across.
ps banking experience 4 years.

Answer 3

Idiots write negative things about banks.
Banking is heaven.
Lack of sweatshops, often of all your scrums and other vomit.
People sit in banks for 10-15 years and everything suits them.
Do not like it - go to the horns and hooves.
Beware that they can cut or the company will go bankrupt.
Sit at night over deadlines.
Let local tsars-managers and so on spread rot on you.

I read, here is a review of one back from another bank, so he only set up the environment for 3 weeks (he received rights, coordinated, etc.). For me, 3 weeks to set up a slave. environment, sounds really wild.

you don't care, what are you going to be paid for? If you work in such a rhythm, you will understand all the delights. Then you don’t want to go to a juice-squeezing galley in your life.

There are some wild things.
We somehow carried the distributors behind the belt, and so the routine, well, the employees who got lost in the Iliads sometimes act weird, declaring that they did nothing
