I have received an offer from IBM, but the client/project has not been finalized yet. Could you please let me know how the allocation process works at IBM? After joining, how are employees assigned to projects if a client is not already selected?

You also need to attend interviews. In my experience, IBM’s Workforce Management team is not always reliable. They may assign you to a project without taking your consent if you have attended and cleared the client interview. Sometimes, these projects involve obsolete or outdated technology stacks, which may not align with your career goals.

You may like to pester your people manager initially. They are in leadership role and know what's going on. Can propose your name in project align to your skillsets. Better than resource management group.

I will be honest with you. Allocation process is highly unpredictable and sometimes brutal. Getting projects is tough. Interviews can be demanding and can span multiple rounds for same role. Process can be tiring for average candidates.

Can someone explain the difference between FB’s Partner Solutions Manager and the Strategic Partner Manager? From an initial recruiter call, it seems the SPM provides the consultative product recs while the PSM onboards the client onto that product and tracks performance to provide actionable recs as needed. Anyone know career growth and salary for these two? I don’t want a sales heavy/only lateral growth role like their client solutions manager roles so these seem like good compromises?

I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice
