[yomkippur]

For me its the overwhelming amount of decision making that prevents me. Imagine for a moment you have to make decisions that impact a lot of people and you can't just do stuff on a whim. Under this model, you would delay an important decision to the very last possible moment.

In addition as engineers, it can feel like you are walking in circles when examining your solution. It's not just writing code that is the issue, its dealing with these valleys and troughs of emotion that comes with undertaking work.

Even labor jobs require a certain level of internal rally cry if it makes sense. It's even more tougher that require constant mental attention and analysis. Which is why the financial buy-side for me was too much. The anxiety alone, the uncertainty aspect of it would make it very tough to execute, especially because there are few variables that is completely out of your control. Many burn out and many only end up collecting the management fee. Few that make it seem to not too sound either.
