Time to make C the COBOL of this century
Lions juggling chainsaws are fun to watch, but you wouldn't want them trimming your trees
You're viewing a single thread.
My wife was telling me at her work they're desperate for cobol programmers, as they're all retiring boomers leaving behind a giant code base. At my work, it's legacy fortran that's all over the place, but we're a much smaller company.
I know COBOL, its pretty easy to pick up honestly. Its just the 40+ years of context and the "WHY"s that they did what they did that is hard.
With how many people are looking for COBOL I really should just make a resume specific to it, put salary * 1.2 and see if any remote positions pop up. Love my job, but with the latest news...
What's the latest news?
I work in a field that is 1. in the news every day and 2. is seeing HEAVY changes. Im sure you can figure it out ;).
They cant fire me, but I might be on accident haha.
Ouch. Well if you wanna take your chances in Canada, definitely advertise your senior COBOL dev skills! ;)
Can I take a a guess? If not, please ignore the next sentence.
Finance companies with a "database" is a gigantic flat file?
Lol yeah she's in insurance! I bet you could probably also infer from the fortran that I work for a science-y outfit.
