External maybe controversial view - IBM still have some of the best talent in the SI market, but the obsession with selling dated IBM/proprietary products and unwillingness to budge on exceptionally high rates is going to let the likes of Accenture + Cognizant wipe them out eventually.

It’s going to continue over the year while Kyndryl split happens. Also IBM need to step up comp game in the UK. Just saw a thread on here around how long it took for people to get to £100k…that was wild!

Got an interview with IBM coming up for the big data and analytics practise. So you think avoid IBM?

IBM1 yeah the practise seems good looking at what kind of work they’re doing did not want to just be implementing data platforms but seems there’s some good strategy work involved also really interested in IBMiX also was just reading they’ve been doing massive layoffs which wasn’t great to hear

Trying to make it easy for client to navigate long dropdowns in excel.

I have a list of options in excel (1000 options) which feeds into dropdown choices per row (multiple rows) - this is needed for data validation

This will be given to client to fill...
1000 is too long too scroll through... but also need to protect and validate the choices...

Is there excel functionality to search through the drop down list or something similar to make it manageable for the client to complete?

Need advice on some situation. I have 2 offers. Second offer i received after accepting 1st one during notice period.

I have an offer to join a Tier 2 consulting firm next year (entry level). However, it seems like they have over-hired and they are now pushing the start date back by a few months. This is not great in itself, as I handed in my notice to my current employer last week, but I was wondering if I should be concerned about further pushbacks or even them withdrawing the offer. Is this something that happens, or will it just be a delay as they say?

2.5 years consulting experience in public sector - mostly local governments, universities and NHS. Anyone out there hiring or willing to refer?

Open to make a move to other sectors as well.

Cheers!
