What are chances of firing from TCS ?
How is SAP projects in IBM?
Let's talk about what's great at DBS!
I recently finished my Masters in Cyber Security and have a Bachelors in Software Development. As much as I love the technical aspect of my degrees, I think the happiest me would be in tech sales. I had found an opportunity at IBM for entry level sales starting in 2023 and was wondering if anyone had gone through this or the Summit program? Looking for insight on applying and would love to chat with anyone who has or currently works for IBM! Thanks in advance!

And they took it!? Is the work/life balance in fed really worth the $60k differential?
@OP good luck.... but I had an experienced hire colleague who was leaving the firm, D countered to bring up to peer level at year end....didn't even come close; 10k under promise
No she didn't take it
I don't have work life balance. I am writing this from the office on Friday night. Ok, I have some, now.
Is fed that low? Crazy
@op same
When you are 60k less than a fresh mba
It's hard to believe
D4, tell me about it. I have a masters from a strategic school that is ranked #1 in its field too. I'm the primary breadwinner for my family and I can't support us on this salary.
I need help to fix this. Financially, I can't survive on this and my work responsibilities and profile don't match my title.
Depends if you are campus or experienced hire -- campus hire federal analysts are making 76-86k out of undergrad. As an experienced hire coming into federal, expect maybe 90k-ish for SO. federal experienced hires get fuckedddddddd on salary. Can never make it up unless you boomerang
Yep, experienced hired. Yes, Fucked with a capital F
Yup. I was at $80 at BAH before that offer.
@op where did you come from and how many yes exp
Yrs*
Combo of Fortune 500, Federal Gov't, and non-profit experience. Approx. 8 years of solid experience and degrees from top schools (undergrad is a top 12 liberal arts and grad was ranked #1 in field and firm strategic school). Between grad school and D, I did an academic/policy fellowship of my own original research with a high ranking ambassador. That's prob what dinged me on compensation, but it was a once a lifetime opportunity.
Agreed, it does, but an$20-$30k difference? I'm asking in all seriousness because I want to ask for what is reasonable. I know many in the firm who also didn't have previous consulting experience who are still making more
Was all for ya OP until you said you can't support a family on what you make.
Guessing OP is in DC where $113k is the threshold for not worrying about $. That was my limit and I have zero kids!
BCG is hiring.
Thanks, SC. I know... I have heard so many stories like that. They say "year end," but that refers to April through August, which is five months, witch is pretty much half of a year.
