Wasn't fintech but was fin something. Several weeks into trying to port a Excel workbook with a zillion tabs, some VBscript from stackoverflow and other nastiness and being unable to replicate the results. I discovered the "consultant" who help them create this insane thing had turned on the "allow circular references"[1] option and choosen a number of iterations that "Seemed to make it work"
Yay! for non-deterministic financial modeling.
Also was really fun trying to explain to the folks who hired me why I couldnt get the results they wanted to see.
