That fact doesn’t negate what I’m speculating would be the cause. These big banks have multiple programming teams that use different programming languages and work on different products. If you go to their careers page, you will find tons of Java, .NET, and Python jobs posted. I’ve never seen a COBOL posting at a big bank (which doesn’t mean it’s never happened, but I can see any of these more modern languages posted any given day). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Intelligence_Gap@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago Why are you assuming it’s not just the ceo ordering theft, which is kinda their thing, and blaming some programmers just because they have a living wage? permalink fedilink source parent
