Building fintech platforms are not easy, specially for large systems which not only require robustness, scale, but also traceability, daily reconciliations. We even had features to undo and redo (correct and replay) transactions from a time in history.

I did not like finance much, but building a fintech system really teaches a lot, not only from technology perspective but from managing stakeholders, processes, compliance, dealing with all kinds of finance-specific issues.

One should always work in fintech, at some point of time in career.
