I never saw one of those, but I don’t think I could be a senior COBOL developer. I’d need training on both language and zOS.

I think it depends on the skill. I see young programmers from big companies like IBM or Accenture making peanuts and working constant overtime while the older guys (I'm talking 30 years experience) who are independent consultants quote 1000€+/day.

> Many of the postings I see are $250k+. That's like 3x what I make.

Proof please.

Ah, I see. I was looking at consultant jobs. Regular jobs seem to be less.
