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

I don’t see how you all can do it. Once I see 5:00:00 PM on the bottom right corner, I log out. My first year I was dedicated and worked over. By my second year, I did no more than 8 hours. These people will work the mess out of you and still won’t give you the promotion that you deserve. If you are going to work like that, make sure your sanity is in check and not let work run your life.
Clearly works at Accenture 😂
I don’t see goals in working so much. Do you like working a lot? Do you find it fulfilling?
In my defense this sarcasm is very thinly veiled bc this is a lot of people’s reality in this job. Lol seems like no one else got the joke either
Needless to say, you should maintain a better work life balance. What is the end goal here? Really ask yourself and think hard about this question. You are stuck in the rat race my friend. Get out of it before it consumes your entire life and you’re old wondering what happened to your life. Oh and by the way, the firm will toss your ass as soon as they don’t need you. Think about this next time you were working past midnight
Stop at 9. Nothing adds value after 9. Or pick your own time. Worked for me. Life comes before the job. Or keep doing what you are doing. Make a choice
Genuinely interested, did you mak epartner while working only till 9?
Everyone has different priorities in life! If you want to keep working until midnight until the rest of your life, that’s your choice. I personally believe you’ll actually miss “living” but that’s again a different perspective. I do know many partners who have amazing lives, amazing clients and teams while still living. You just have to set your boundaries.
How are y’all not working until midnight? Aggressive deadlines paired with constant material prep, paired with days of back to back working sessions..... send help
Option 3. Working multiple DD projects.
I am still so energized by working late in the night. Sometimes I even get up in the early mornings. Nothing more exhilarating. I have achieved my life goals. You will get there too OP! Hang in there. Hugs 🤗
Y'all are a tough crowd on the sarcasm front.
I'm kidding folks. Y'all are a little too serious.
Sometimes I wake up in morning in middle of the night.
The more You say Yes, the more you’ll get F****d and the more it will be tough for them to understand why you are tired and not delivering —> set your own boundaries or honestly quit.

Somehow, I would rather enjoy my daylight hours and grind away at night. Results-wise, these are my most productive hours.
