Also, I guess that really when they say COBOL they mean 'our decades old spaghetti mess of COBOL', not COBOL itself. I doubt anyone would struggle to 'learn' COBOL, but it would take years to figure out exactly how these systems work.
Therefore there's not much chance you can go to another bank and do the same stuff, surely? Therefore less pay.
