Here's another view point: I recruited for Mainframe Developers a year ago. It's an increasingly rare skillset to find because developers: - move on to cloud technology or other newer technologies to stay relavent - don't want to move back to mainframe since they see less jobs for them - there are almost no junior level candidates for mainframe roles. Most candidates will have 10-20+ years of experience. It's extremely rare to find anyone less than 5. It is true that legacy systems aren't going anywhere anytime soon. But as time goes on there's a high cost in finding people that can maintain those systems.
