It seems to me that he did not keep his skills aligned up with the market. You've got to be looking 3 years ahead. Does it ever say what skills he has?

- gadders 14y agoWorking in banking, you kind of have two axes of career development to consider - your technology skills, and also the particular business line you work in. EG you could be the world's best developer at working on, say, mortgage securitisation systems, but that won't help you if that business line drops off a cliff. Although a lot of the knowledge is transferable, recruiters often don't just want a C# or java developer - they want a fixed income Java developer. If you work on packaged systems, you could even add a third dimension. What is the hot package for Equity Trading? Or Commodities? Should you specialise in Rolfe and Nolan? Summit? OpenLink? etc etc.
