tl;dr: Bank guys are not cool, hey they caused the GFC! - how would you in with the team at a "cool software company" (your words).

Without even digging in, I wouldn't hire you for the following reasons:

1. We don't use Java, it's too enterprise based

2. You've worked in banks for 10 years? Can you be creative?

3. Banks pay very well, you salary expectations are unrealistic.

4. Whilst you appear to be very capable, you also come across as having a huge ego.

I would recommend going after a job in one of the big consulting firms. You would be a far better fit for them. Oh, wait! It appears, that's not what you want to do.
