I don't know where most of the displaced ISTJs work now, but it's probably in accounting (which is, curiously-enough, something that coders often do at some point in their careers, and something in which I've never had the slightest interest).
In ancient software development companies, maybe, but those have almost all gone the way of the dinosaur.

I've noticed a number of "testers" have part accounting qualifications. But Corporate accounting / systems accounting / systems implementation / testing is a connected route really. Most accountants have the same mindset as coders/testers.
Accounting process jobs are being shed to offshoring in huge numbers now... so coders to accountants is just a continual line "towards the edge".
