When your best is never good enough 🙏
Hi Team,
Hope you guys are doing well. I am planning to join Kyndryl on band 7b for cybersecurity domain. Want to know how is the environment there in terms of job security, wlb and hike? There are mixed reviews all over the places reg Kyndryl so posting here to get insight form you.Kyndryl Inc.
Also anything else you would like to add is good for me to decide as I have to choose between Accenture and Kyndryl (I was with Accenture and know what I will be getting and work there).

Keep looking and don't bother pushing it at your current employer. You will be happier elsewhere. Don't settle obviously but if you are looking for an increase in salary, the best bumps will be when you're an external candidate
Yeah. I’ve applied to at least 50 jobs since November 2025. It’s been difficult getting an interview! Hope soon. Thanks for your input.
It sounds like they are making excuses and playing games. I would just encourage you to keep applying as much as you can, but it seems like all jobs are stagnant right now, hiring is really slow. But at least you can put out your résumé and hope for the best.
You’re right. I appreciate it.
Are they not wanting to promote you because of your performance or because there isn’t a job opening at that next level? For the same reason you can’t have 100 CFOs is the same reason that if there are already 5 people at the position above you there may not be a business reason for a 6th. And if that’s the reason unless the company grows or someone above you leaves you will never get promoted.
My boss says my performance is good and she never has to worry about me. But I think they want me to just do more to make it look good on paper for HR. I believe you’re right about being stagnant at this position because I don’t see them expanding this team. Thank you.
Do you believe them or does it sound like an excuse to you?
I believe that my boss wants me to get promoted. But I know she’s limited. She’s got a lot of connections and is willing to help me move to a position I’d like though. We’ll have to see.
Well, first and foremost keep looking for jobs outside the company. Because even if they do finally approve your promotion, I don’t think you’ll have a lot of wiggle room to negotiate the salary. They’re dragging their feet and don’t seem to care whether or not you get promoted so they’re not going to want to give you a substantial raise.
You’re right. I’ll keep applying. Also, I always thought it’d be cool to be an engineer but i think only smart people do that. Haha
I feel like I’m in a similar boat. Honestly I’m not checking out, but I’m not going to kill myself at work anymore. It’s a boundary I’m setting
Exactly! Thats how I feel. I used to stay late, make my kids wait for me to finish work before spending time with them. But nope, not anymore.
