I don't know where or who told you but it was booming since then till 2011 and then demand slowed down and constant now ( I guess).| Quote: |

This is not the assumption of Compuware but IBM say's so. Mainframe at 50: Why the mainframe keeps on going| Quote: |

This is a different story because in current world you will have to be versatile in most of the technologies to get more paid. One of my friend is a ETL developer and tester but there are no jobs with higher salary than what he draws today, another case of a Hadoop Developer , Its just a bubble but in real no much jobs today, so unless anyone learns something of a current demand and keep updated time to time , He or She wouldn't be getting paid well. These days' everything is outsourced to offshore ,no matter what technology and their outsourcing rates are almost constant ( mostly fixed contract)in against to, older days (15 years back) was no much offshoring. so the pay in USA was much better which I think is the REASON for less pay and NOT the type of technology.
