“Wait out there recession”? Buddy, the stock market is just responding to rates, and with rising wages and unemployment at 3.5%, we won’t even enter a recession for the next five years or so
Don’t wait for that to happen

B10 with IBM is mostly sales or revenue management.
Look for S.M with Accenture or Deloitte.
SMs both sell and deliver projects.

What band are you? Jumping around is the way to progress sadly. I would hold off for now due to the economic climate though.

Current unemployment doesn’t mean anything about layoffs/future unemployment.
With large inflation, high energy prices, and supply chain disruptions companies are less profitable i.e. less budget for consultants. Tech has already laid off loads. Saw the same thing during covid (obviously way worse) and other recessions. The bench is getting larger at some companies, however, this might be a big leap and layoffs are far from certain. Nonetheless its not a great climate to change. IBM has laid off in less dire days.
Very curious how you’re only a band 9? I’ve been at ibm for 4 years from undergrad and am a b8
I did not want to travel so I accepted a few internal non client facing roles for about 6 years. Those did not provide an opportunity for a promo to B10.
