You sound like you're centering a big decision in your life around language choice because it sounds like 'interesting technology'. I'd recommend skipping this - the technology isn't the important part, it's what you're doing with it.

Also, 'interesting technology' and '37.5h/week' are often directly at odds, especially in the financial industry. When you're using old, boring technology then you know it's been used to do what you're doing with it 100s of times before. This means no surprises, fairly easy estimations of work length, and most important for a consistent work week - lots of older developers and managers who are more interested in their next golf game than using their weekend to hack in new tech.

Basically what I'm getting at is that you need to decide your priorities - are you looking for an interesting job, or a stable job? Once you decide that, you can do some negotiation in interviews and culture fit to find where you want to work. Trying to optimize two things at once and still get hired is much tougher.

you have a point here, thanks :)
