Those were the glory years for American Funds. IIRC They were number 2 in AUM back then.
I was w*rking rking at a place they outsourced some of their IT to. Their systems were very challenging to support due to very high volumes.
The team I was on was challenged to come up with unique solutions to sustain their loads. Interesting times, probably the best parts of my career.
Who would have thought that running out of resources you had to pretend existed was possible? Or fixing the imaginary problems would lead to career advancements? Haha pretty funny now. We worked a lot of late hours fixing imaginary problems.
