Skilled COBOL programmers have good job opportunities, IIRC. Lots of legacy systems, not many people who aren't retired who understand and can work with things.

Skilled COBOL programmers have good job opportunities, IIRC. Lots of legacy systems, not many people who aren't retired who understand and can work with things. It's a different set of things you get to work on compared to having a sexier technology like React or Python or whatever on top of your resume, but there's lots of well-paid work out there.

To acquire a freedom to move to a new employer I would emphasize my high demand skills instead. Just an opinion
