Offer: IBM-GBS vs NTT DaTa
1) IBM GBS =$187K base + $15k sing-on bonus + Yearly Discretionary company bonus (not contractual bonus, based on IBM growth only - which is expected to be negative in next 2 years due to IBM restructuring)
2) NTT DaTa=$220k base + 15% yearly contractual bonus; Total ~ $253k/year
Both same location remote WFH.
Both similar role. 
I plan to move away from Consulting in next 3-5 years time.
# of employees : IBM-GBS=110000; NTT-DaTa=130000;
Which one do you advice ?

I would take the NTT role and get the hire base and for sure bonus. Performance based bonuses based on company don’t excite me as that’s not a sure thing (and not likely based on what you said).

Money now is always better than money later.

I am curious why you picked IBM. Wondering if I missed something.
Both offer roles are mix of delivery & sales focus. Both roles look similar.

Idk anything about NTT DaTa but wouldn’t advise coming to IBM if you care about money. I’ve been here for 3 years and any “bonus” I got was like 500 dollars max (not a typo). Also IBM is terrible at raises ...really only get them when you promote

Do you have a sales target?

Generally IBM GBS is is a low tier IT consulting shop and doubt you’d be working on exciting projects. You can get 200k base at a smaller AWS partner doing cooler work.

Can you tell more about the role description breakdown?

Whats yoe

nearly 20 years

What level are you coming at IBM? Band 9 or 10?

That is some good TC from NTT. That’s more than what I get as a band 10 due to lack of bonus from IBM.

20 years experience is way more yoe than what band 9 should have, I’d go NTT

I would suggest IBM , its a 100 year old company with encouragement for learning and innovation in its DNA, i don't belive we should be looking is the company a well sailing ship ?? We should join and make the company a great and smooth sailing ship.. That's why we are being hired !!

IBM in all ways is what i suggest.
