Just to highlight this:

It's the single most important part of working in finance. You will have 10 ideas and work you'd want your teams to follow through on and if you are lucky and the stars align, you'll get to work on 3 and 2 of them will be credited to others.

Yep, and I have to finish at 5:30 because that's when Jenkins becomes unusable.

It's fine with me. You'll burn yourself out trying to get everything complete and I like have a fixed point where the system becomes too slow and reminds me to log off. And it's really not my fault, I wouldn't do half the things they want us to do, because it terrible "Enterprise Architecture". But they require it, everything is slow and it's not my fault as I've already made suggestions on how to improve it. But I'm not Enterprise Architecture, so what do I know?
