I know a person who does AIX consulting with Cobol. She works about 4-8 weeks a year spread between 3 companies and makes enough to raise a family and fund a massive hobby farm. Helps to be in an area with a large fintech presence I imagine.

Very nice, yeah that's the problem. I broke into AIX in the wholesale industry in early 2000's so I have very few finance connections, which is where it all seems to be.

I have also been work from home for 7 years now and figured I'd have to go onsite for banks. That may have changed post covid. I will poke around and see what might be out there for me
