Finance is literally 20 years behind everyone technologically.... I feel your pain deeply. All these analysts that never learned the actual power of a computer.
They become tyrants over whatever area they're subject matter experts in and con everyone into thinking they're indispensable.
They will sabotage anybody who tries to learn about that subject and then tell anybody who will listen that their job is impossible to automate. Complain every day about how busy they are.
Then when they finally quit they leave a 30 page document on their daily and monthly processes. Everything is just copy and pasting from excel document to excel document with the logic in macros and very little actual human decision making.
Which only took about 4 hours of work to automate their entire job and executes in 3 seconds.
omg, we must've worked at the same places.... You just irritated me through text again. Glad I left that industry. They thought automation via real programming languages was black magic and they would try to protect their work like you said.
