This is the thing when there's a major fuckup..
someone gets made to walk the plank and then nobody else in house wants to step up, so they go looking elsewhere.
you have to think at what sort of person is going to take up this fuckup. Nobody in the right mind is going to take it on, not unless it comes with a massive pay packet and contractual sureties that your job is going to be safe in the long term (5 to 8 years guaranteed). You will also want to be able to sack everyone you feel the need to get rid of in your department... If you demand a pay packet that's way above the industry standard at that level, you might get it in the short term,,, but once everything is fixed up you are gonna need to look for another job. That said, if you have "2018 to 2023, fixed TSB fuck up. Took it from a dying duck to the best banking computer system" is going to be a big gold star and other banks needing a robust system are gonna come calling...
do, Ideal job for someone with not much track record trying to fast track up the ladder.
time to dust off my CV, I got out of IT a while back.... maybe worth a return
