At least where I live, most/all established banks have COBOL training programs for new hires. A friend of mine started one just a couple of months ago. As I understand it, it's not easy for them to find people who are both skilled programmers and willing to learn COBOL. If you really want to reskill into a COBOL developer, I believe that's very much an option still.

Thanks for the pointer! Do you (or your friend) happen to have a link to a sample job post that I may be able to use to identify these opportunities in the future?

Not job related but have a look at Xplore and get your hands on a Mainframe and Cobol:

Unfortunately I don't have any link to such a job post, but when I've seen them in the past they've clearly stated what they are about, so keywords like "COBOL" or "Mainframe" would certainly find them. Sorry I couldn't be any more help.

No worries at all, again thanks for the pointers!
