This is interesting. At the Banks was this driven by internal staff, or contractors?
I’m considering contracting, any particular banks that you thought were more competent?
- hu3 7y agoIn my case the Go adoption was spearheaded by a team lead from their staff. As for what banks are more competent or dare I say modern, it can vary wildly even in the same bank depending on what piece of software each team works on. From my experience banks are (understandably) resistant to change so you might have a hard time finding greenfield projects there. In general, I'd say go for banks only if you're interested in quick money over career development. It can be soul crushing at times.
- kjs3 7y agoDisclaimer: At a very large US bank. Seconding the assessment. We have pockets of everything from legacy mainframe you've probably never heard of (no, not every mainframe is an IBM) to cutting edge cloud/docker/devops/agile/etc. Just depends on where you can be plugged in.
