There are certain industries (looking at your finance), that often DON'T adopt the newest technologies on purpose. In fact, some of them have essentially "5 year plans" where they only update their stack every X years. (I put X as even in the same org the values for X may range from 1 to 10).
People familiar with older techs AND have the ability to pick up new things are very valuable.
If you are curious how to find things like this:
- look for talks by hedge funds on the tech they use
- if you see one in which your are knowledgeable, look up some of the recruiters for that firm on LinkedIn and reach out to them pointing out your expertise (bonus points for looking for a connection in common)
- go from there
