I worked at an i-bank a few years ago and there was regular boomerang activity from people who had left for more techie companies. One result was that this bank developed their own Borg implementation using existing infrastructure primitives. That had some pretty positive results on developer velocity. The only challenge is that these non-FAANG companies are going to have to come close to FAANG salaries and commit to IT improvements during an economic downturn. That’s not a task for faint-of-heart CIOs.
