I started in IT as a COBOL programmer back in 1983. In the mid-90’s, I saw the writing on the wall regarding cheap Indian programmers and moved to Project Management and Business Analysis starting at around the turn of the century. I settled on the latter because it is a lot more fun, especially for an ex-programmer.

I started in 1980 as a COBOL programmer also. Now doing MF support as we still deal with other entities that are still MF based. Also getting trained in working with Putty, SQLDeveloper, WINSCP, Job Scheduler etc. Guess I'll always be a programmer of sorts. I just need to keep myself viable for another 4 years:-)

“I started in IT as a COBOL programmer back in 1983.”
Assembler language, 1977. I’m so glad I don’t do that any longer.
