Not surprised at all. Had a feeling this was happening but wanted to give the benefit of the doubt that it was innocent. I think this is natural behavior when you incentivize people to behave a certain way. Not excusing it but just my view. Probably happens more than we’d be comfortable admitting.

AP - very true, especially on large deal accounts there is pressure to bring in sub-par IBM tech products. This causes contention constantly when high leadership is in the room.

D1 hit the nail on the head 'IBM was ran as a piggy bank for CEOs'. I started consulting career there, stayed 10 years and saw some pretty outrageous decision-making.

Thanks! You hopeful about the new CEO?

Who hasn’t done a case on the mismanagement of IBM?

Have been fortunate enough to see large comp/responsibility increases in my early career (~$320K TC, 7-8 YOE) but starting to feel really stuck. Looking to make a move but most opptys are either slightly worse pay or have limited career growth runway.

Finding that low <10 YOE is really holding me back from the truly great opportunities. Anybody else feeling the same thing / have advice?
