Hi Everyone,
I just received an offer to work as an software sales representative (SDR) for IBMs Z systems. I'm coming as a sales engineer in the cloud security space. Can anyone advise me on whether Z systems are something worth going into? Also what do the growth opportunities look like at IBM? Is there opportunity for lateral movement onto other teams? Not too sure how I feel about working on mainframes (Z systems) but they keep pitching hybrid cloud to me. IBM

If they can't get their s--- together to get you a start date and letter... What else would they be like? Cyas...!
Got something else lined up? Otherwise, why pull out?
I mean it's frustrating for sure, but hopefully you have something better in the pipeline. Was it a major company or a smaller place?
Major company - 70k employees globally. I have other options but I hate to pull my commitment.
Don’t make this decision of feeling bad. If they can’t even get an offer letter together in a month then imagine what other operational inefficiencies they probably have. Also, they may have still been shopping around before fully signing you, so don’t feel too bad. It’s just business.
