maybe consider cobol instead?
- jxub 8y agoWell, you do have a point in that COBOL jobs are safe places where you don't have a lot of need in staying up to date with the freshest tech, leaving more time for other things in live than code, same as it goes for many JavaEE shops. However, lots of banks are rewriting their COBOL code in Java, so you might end up writing some Java anyway.
- olavk 8y agoCOBOL developers are highly sought after and well compensated due to the number of legacy systems still around. Many COBOL developers are nearing retirement, so if you are young and know COBOL you will be attractive. Almost no new development though, it is almost exclusively maintenance.
