As we ve reported here often before, banks are very interested in recruiting cloud computing talent in 2021. They re also very open to hiring this talent from outside the industry. However, it s a two-way flow: while banks suck-in cloud technologists from technology firms and elsewhere, their cloud professionals are also leaving for other sectors.
Both Bank of America and UBS have lost senior cloud professionals in Europe in recent months. Ben London, a UBS cloud lead in London, left after 10 years in December. Zerrin Diren, a senior vice president in EMEA data storage and protection, left Bank of America after seven years at the same time.
