I have heard/read of these people but people I know who work at hospitals doing MUMPS get paid very little. Same for COBOL programmers. There are some mythical people who make bank but most COBOL guys make way less than the typical JS guy.
- chaostheory 2y agoAre they the original employees who started decades ago? If so, that’s no surprise. My aunt was in the same position years ago, despite my attempts to update her on modern salaries. Those awesome salaries tend to be paid to mercenaries and not the lifers.
