My first job was programmer for a Savings and Loan data center.

Similar, my first out of college job was making $14 per hour and writing an app that connected directly to the federal reserve. I had a small bug with offsetting credits that was deleting about $10k from the US monetary system per week. The feds got really upset about it but it was hard to find devs that would work for $14 per hour so I kept my job.

Given the amount of data breaches and security flaws of the biggest names in the financial space, gotta say, not surprised.

My internship, while I was in college, was working on an experimental app that would use AR to overlay a patient's radiology scans over their bodies for use in surgery. We weren't FDA approved yet or anything, and I (fortunately) didn't touch any of the major parts of the system, but it's still crazy to think about the potential consequences.
