I see many fishes here have good opinion on IBM..but for your information IBM in india for consultants is IBM GBS(Global Business Services) which is also a consultant service like WITCH companies..and many projects IBM have were support projects atleast for SAP..implementation projects in india mostly goes to accenture sometimes to cognizant..and hikes in IBM will be arround 1-2 percent max..no growth for learning..permanent wfh which gives you less connections..correct me if i am wrong

Someone please show this to analysts who keep bragging about IBM prowess and decline offers from Accenture and big4 for 1-2 Lakhs more. College passouts have no vision whatsoever.

Yeah .. i was surprised to see so many people suggesting IBM over Big4

Connections and learning is important at early stage of career and i feel ibm GBS is a settler company like TCS which one should opt at the last….pros of IBM good wlb,better job security..this is what i feel

I have a recurring thought that really brings me down and I can’t seem to get past it.
Some days I feel I am pretty good at what I do (not a leadership role) but then I see leaders in my own organization that are great at what they do and I don’t believe that I could ever get to their level of competence. Then I think of all the people my age who are appear to be doing those things and wonder we what’s wrong with me.
Have any of you felt this and how have you gotten past it?
