This is going the same way as support and it isn't going to get better. You need to move up the 'value chain', managing the external resources etc.
Good luck....

I was getting that 3 times a week let alone 2 months when I was looking last so you are doing ok. It is the same in any industry sector as well not just banking so have to take it as the way it is and keep banging away.

Application Support? All gone to India, mate.

We only had one UK-based guy left doing this. He's just been given his marching orders. Top 5 IB, here.
