IBM is good in terms of wlb and projects.
18.5 is quite low for your experience, try to get a counter offer and share with IBM, they will give you a better offer

Scary tactic to confuse you. Some managers do not want employee personal growth.

IBM is a good company with WLB.

I don't see why you guys get scared by managers and why there is a need to tell someone actually where you are going.

Do not trust your manager.
IBM is good interms of security and WLB.
Ask them to match the current offer if you would love working there.
If they couldn't just leave and join Ibm.

While joining IBM try to grab as much as you can. Later don't expect hikes. IBM managers are the worst I have ever seen. Only you can expect work life balance.

If getting offer in home location then go ahead. But continue your learning also. Else learning and growth will be stangent in IBM
