Hi Everyone,
I just received an offer to work as an software sales representative (SDR) for IBMs Z systems. I'm coming as a sales engineer in the cloud security space. Can anyone advise me on whether Z systems are something worth going into? Also what do the growth opportunities look like at IBM? Is there opportunity for lateral movement onto other teams? Not too sure how I feel about working on mainframes (Z systems) but they keep pitching hybrid cloud to me. IBM
Does anybody have any advice when applying to postings with many applicants and getting noticed? The company I am interested in is Figma, and though I reached out to a few technical recruiters after applying through LinkedIn, I am wondering if there might be something more I could do that maybe I’m not thinking about. Also along those lines, if anybody here works for figma I would love the chance to connect
Hi Fishies! (Is that what we are? I’m going with it)
I just came across a Google Research and Insights role that got me SUPER excited and I was about to apply when I had the idea of seeing if anyone would be willing to give me a referral. I understand (and respect) that most of you Googlers on here feel that a referral is only useful if you know the person but I would be happy to jump on the phone to give you some info about me. It would mean so much! 4 YOE at a major audio steaming service
New to Fishbowl?

If you want to get into product research (for e.g. Quantum Computing and Applications) then yes!
It realistically won’t increase your earning potential by anything meaningful so monetarily no. However, it may open positions that otherwise wouldn’t be available, so based on opportunity maybe.
Uhm, I’d argue that it does depending on the roles.
Lots of senior and leadership roles in the machine learning and computer science space require you to have a PhD I’ve noticed. Those roles often pay more…
Depends on what you want to do in the long term and what you care about
Agree with IBM. If you want to do research at a company maybe. But otherwise probably not (or at best it’ll just wash out)
Mostly not, no. Like mentioned above, it's good for research, or if you're American Psycho levels of concerned about your businesscard lol
The pay is not that high – median stipends range from $17,000 to $29,000.16
On the flip side, you get to ask people to call you Dr!!
