Not a bad gig to take if you can swallow your pride a bit.

I bet LLMs can make working with COBOL a lot easier and more fun than it ever was. I bet that's true for a lot of legacy stuff.

Working with COBOL was never fun, so that's a low bar.

Like others have said, what's valuable is an understanding of the business and legacy cruft that comes with spending time working at this kind of companies/banks/etc rather than knowledge of COBOL.
