Is that where the “learn Cobol for the banking industry, you’ll earn zillions” meme comes from? (in my experience the few Cobol people I met were only as well paid as the next bigcorp IT drone, and much less than the workers at fancystartup.io)
Yeah no you get paid the same amount as any other mid level dev its not a well paid position it also has a quite a high turnover rate every cobol dev I’ve met is absolutely miserable
