Stock Traders Are Facing Burnout From Tech Angst, Study Shows

Technology problems are causing a bigger headache for US stock traders than their stressful hours or the pressures to generate higher returns.

Just over half of US traders surveyed by Crisil Coalition Greenwich said internal tech issues were their biggest source of fatigue and burnout. Of the 83 respondents, 27% said regulatory and compliance requirements were the biggest source, while career uncertainty and lack of work-life balance came in at 25% and 20%, respectively.
