I'm so sick of the constant pressure and unrealistic expectations at Robinhood. It feels like every other week there's a new 'urgent' project that needs to be done yesterday. My team is already stretched thin, and the constant pushing is burning everyone out. The VP keeps promising 'more resources' but it never actually happens. It's all talk. I'm working 60+ hour weeks just to keep my head above water, and for what? To make some exec richer? The culture has completely changed since I joined 2 years ago. It used to be a fun, collaborative place to work, but now it's just a pressure cooker. Seriously considering jumping ship before I completely lose it.

I hear you. Been there, done that at a similar fintech. The 'promised resources' that never materialize is a classic. Start documenting everything – your hours, project scopes, missed deadlines due to understaffing, the VP's promises, etc. It protects you if things go south and gives you leverage for a better exit strategy. Also, discreetly update your resume. The market's still hot; don't let them burn you out completely before you explore other options.

Honestly, 60+ hours in fintech isn't exactly news. Two years ago was peak hype; things were bound to normalize. Maybe your expectations were a bit unrealistic going in? Every company has its issues, and 'urgent' projects are just part of the startup grind. Instead of just complaining, have you tried suggesting solutions? Proposing a more realistic roadmap or suggesting process improvements to your manager might be more effective than venting online.
