My friend's mom gets called back for COBOL stints at major US banks all the time. I don't know how long it'll last, but apparently the list of people to select from and bring in is ridiculously short.
how can you realistically enter that list?
its not like they bring in just anyone that learns it i guess?
I'll have to ask, she worked as a COBOL contractor for multiple banks historically so it might be one of those "who you know" type things. I'll circle back and reply here if I hear anything.
