questions about FO/MO/BO

Hey whatsup everyone I’m a 2nd year MIS student who’s looking to work in trading system software development after graduating. My friend recently explained that this would be in the backend department of a bank and I should be prepared to be shit on by my front end counter parts showing me some memes explaining the same thing. I thought it was just a joke really but after doing some digging on here it seems pretty legit. Some on here even said it was so bad in the back they wanted to kill themself? WTF? I don’t really care what people think but I don’t want to put myself through hell if I don’t have too.

Should I avoid banks at all costs?
