Hello everyone,

I will be joining IBM GBS in a month as a Senior Data Scientist. But my passion has always been research and working on cutting edge technology so my goal is to enter ISL. How quickly will I be able to achieve this? P.S. I have 5 years of experience in Data Science.

ISL doesn't work on research that much. It mostly works on IBM products. And products are meant to be sold as much as possible. So, they are written mostly on standard frameworks and IBM's own frameworks, which are even less advanced. As for patents, ISL used to focus on patents till sometime back, but it is no longer the focus. Also, it is very difficult to work on patents without proper guidance and a good manager.
IMO, you should try IRL, but I do not know how one can get there.

Don’t join IBM ISL prior to your job role clarification. They will give you title as ML engineer in offer and once you join it become front end developer and you will be assigned that work only

Wait this actually happens? Should I be worried?

Is it fair to say once you’re an LS consultant you can always fall back to a tier 2,3 firm? For context I’m looking to go from consulting to a hospital implementation role.

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

I have a couple of questions for ZS fishes-

1. Is it possible to turn down a promotion at ZS? I'm currently happy with my responsibilities as a Decision Analytics Consultant and don't want any added responsibilities in the near future (next 5 years)

2. Is it possible to shape up a career path in the BC stream which doesn't involve business development? I don't want to get into working on SOWs and RFPs.
