As long as your fine with Java, then there's nothing that terrible with the enterprise stuff, and you'll get more free time due to other people blocking your work.

It's the single most important part of working in finance. You will have 10 ideas and work you'd want your teams to follow through on and if you are lucky and the stars align, you'll get to work on 3 and 2 of them will be credited to others.It's fine with me. You'll burn yourself out trying to get everything complete and I like have a fixed point where the system becomes too slow and reminds me to log off. And it's really not my fault, I wouldn't do half the things they want us to do, because it terrible "Enterprise Architecture". But they require it, everything is slow and it's not my fault as I've already made suggestions on how to improve it. But I'm not Enterprise Architecture, so what do I know?
If the job is boring but the employment agreement puts your hobby projects at risk, because they can assert ownership is it worth it?
I'm guessing it's totally boring until you invent a novel algorithm as a hobby, at which point they are suddenly highly interested in being cutting edge and taking your creation.
