I'm Diagnosed with OCD (Pure O) and I'm in this industry for a year now in Algo Trading field in a Big Bank. Ive been struggling with the ammount of information, lack of documentation and lack of clarity in tasks. I don't bother with the subject of the work itself, but this level of uncertainty in the environment drains all my energy. Did anyone suffered with that and managed to find a way to deal with it?

Not in that field, but that's just like software engineering. I find it helpful to build tests and experiments to confirm understanding if the documentation is lacking.

I am not but I hope everything will work out.

You are probably the best person to create the documentation and define tasks, and everyone will love you for it?
