We are recruiting to support a major retail banking programme in Warsaw, Poland. They are seeking permanent placements with Mainframe Development experience covering COBOL / CICS / DB2 skills and Systematics application experience. Candidates will be employed on an 'open-ended' contract at local rates, circa £30k per annum with low living costs and lower local taxation rates. The target is...
Its that old "open ended contract" thing again where it is such a fantastic job (quite where the lower tax comes from I dont know) that you get a permie rate but without the permie benefits. I think this is an opportunity for those IBM mainframers (who are still alive) who would otherwise be supplementing their pensions at B&Q

I can do all that stuff, I did it in depth for 19 years. But since then I've had 5 years of client/server followed by 10 years of CRM, so obviously any agent that I mentioned it to would tell me patiently/with a smirk that I'm not worth considering for it because my experience is not recent. Twats.

COBOL? That old hat? But if they need any PL/1 programmers please let me know.

You get the lower rate of tax by being out of blighty for 5/6ths of the time.
I hope they can't find anyone.
