>Do you have any source for that? Genuinely curious, because I haven't heard about that beeing an issue.

No, that's speculation. It's well known the big banks have been reducing head count, and I suppose that most people in such a system will at least start by trying to find a seat in the same industry. At least one guy I know has been looking for work for ages.

The problem is age, mostly, isn't it though? With age you neither want to leave the place you grew accustomed with, nor would it be easier than finding a job in your profession, as some complain even here with respect to IT.

Anyway, I find it a terribly boring and ignorant idea, to work in one profession all life, without much change of pace. or chances to gain valuable knowledge from dfferent fields. Although, it sounds comfortable enough to understand why so many would not want to change a running system. As the saying goes, let the cobbler stay with his lasts (!g what's a last anyway?) edit: originally the saying ment to stay within ones competence.
