I do not get why you say that COBOL programmers get paid less. Once you know everything about the systems and the language you should be able to get above market pay because you are really hard to replace. Pay me more or I leave would be a pretty easy management decision.
- commandlinefan 6y agoYou would think, but no: programmers can never make more than managers. Management makes sure of it.
- neilalexander 6y agoPoignant but ultimately true.
- zimzam 6y ago“Should” is the key word. I’ve looked at COBOL job listings every few years and I’ve never seen one for more than $90k US. So maybe once people are on the job maybe they have more leverage but those job listings don’t indicate any desperation for talent.
