+1 to this. I've worked in tech but never enjoyed the "upgrade the system every 2 years approach." Banks and financial services are now regulated to be slow, methodical, and dependable post 2008. I found a manager I respect in a group that does work I'm curious about (options/futures) so it's a good fit.

Well, I work in finance and we do a lot of upgrades. We rarely touch the old COBOL systems. But we rewrite plenty of JSF and even AngularJS front ends. In fact, I created a system about 2 years ago that is currently being rewritten by a different team. So it does still change. I have never worked at a true tech company so I'm just assuming the change is slower.
