You'll earn most in the direction of demand. Some have spoken here about shortage of supply, Cobol etc, which might be true, but do you really want to upskill

You'll earn most in the direction of demand.
Some have spoken here about shortage of supply, Cobol etc, which might be true, but do you really want to upskill in an area that by its nature is diminishing?
In demand at present is not any language, thats implementation detail not what drives a business to spend money.
- cjalmeida 8y agoPeople still hold very dearly the myth they can keep a decent job for a lifetime by becoming an expert in a legacy tech. The truth is you can find those, but it’s a lottery bet. Not only there are many people skilled on those technologies, but most large companies supposedly learned a lesson or two about managing large system and are more proactive about making easier to maintain system. Parent posted us spot on: move toward the future, do not aim at the past.
- candiodari 8y ago> supposedly learned a lesson or two about managing large system and are more proactive about making easier to maintain system. One thing you learn pretty quickly is that there is a massive difference between stated intentions and reality. It only takes one dissenting voice to get a big enterprise stuck in the past. Usually far more are available. (and I might even agree that from a business perspective it's usually the right call at some point. Software engineers will rewrite, rewrite, rewrite again and again and again)
