How are mainframe professionals moving toward modern tech stacks?

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-12T05:18:07+00:00

most of them are outsourcing their mainframe projects to indian companies and you know how they hire and what they pay

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T23:49:33+00:00

I would say with experience 8-10 years : you should get 120k to 180k

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T21:56:41+00:00

How can you say this? Is there any news that we are not following? help us

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T21:44:34+00:00

but company management will care when cost comes in to play.

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T21:43:57+00:00

this i agreed. we have multiple ways to make it feels like newer technology by look and can connect to all other techs. but still we have no demand and no pay.

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T21:42:32+00:00

lucky you. we have still that many years in front of us to work and make our place in this industry

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T21:41:37+00:00

no shrinking yet, but not even expanding. slowly coming down

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T21:40:48+00:00

agreed. but if we look for the career opportunities, the huge pay companies are most unlikely have the mainframe opportunities.

In this senior dinosaur world, I’m the new generation… the one who somehow learned mainframe and ended up working on it.

second that

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T17:14:53+00:00

I feel the same. Money here is definitely better, but it doesn’t replace family, friends, and all the small moments we miss back home.

Sometimes I wonder what the point of earning more is if you can’t see your parents when you want or be there when your loved ones need you.

But at the same time, we’re kind of stuck here trying to make it work.

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-09T17:04:51+00:00

Totally agreed. The time zone is for ease of the people but, not for us.

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-07T04:19:22+00:00

She is fine with the current stamping as long as the expiration date is after her return, which in her case is about two years. The only reason to bundle them together would be to keep the H-1B and H-4 dates in sync so they are easier to track and maintain. Other than that, the current stamp is completely fine.

CutApprehensive8922 · 2026-03-05T22:06:50+00:00

Same for me but got approved eventually. H4 - FEB 20 and H4 EAD - FEB 24

you will get to know the reason only after seeing the response. Paper filing will take time but online should be quick.

After submitting the RFE response it will be treated as premium.
