Not to derail too hard, but I was thinking the exact same thing.

And here I thought it was only me and bisticles that work for big blue! On a related note, I may be posting something soon for my current gig (systems admin stuff) that will most likely be in Littleton, MA. I'm heading to another position within the company, and I'm not sure yet if I'll be looking for my replacement yet or not. Good to see another IBMer on here, though!

kimbo305 posted:Like any other profession, it's regional and cyclical. I think on the whole, it's pretty easy to get a job in software engineering right now, compared to some other jobs. You must have been on easy teams. In the past several years at big blue, I have only had a couple of 40 hour work weeks -- everything else is 60ish. I know many of my users (software engineers) also work as many hours as I do, and don't have normal lives (aka bring work on vacation, work until 11pm every night and start at 7am, etc.)

brc64 posted:The job I'm currently talking a recruiter about is a W2 position. He explained that my paycheck would come from the recruitment company (is that normal?). He was also really vague about time off, saying that there is no paid time off, but I would still be able to schedule unpaid time off if I needed... If you're going through a contracting company, it is entirely different than being an independent contractor, which was described above. Your paycheck will come from your contracting agency, and they should be withdrawing taxes and such from your checks. There are some cons to contractors, mostly revolving around them being shady. One thing you should ask them is how much they're charging the client an hour for your time. Other than that, there are good contractors and bad ones. The bad ones are the ones who don't provide you with benefits (insurance, retirement, pto, etc.). I have worked for a couple of different contractors so far, and my experiences with them has been good.

wintermuteCF posted:I have an EXCITING job opportunity to share with you! It may be entry-level, Tier 1 helpdesk. It may also have no benefits or sick/paid time off or holidays. It may also be contract work with a short duration. But it's PERFECT for someone like you! If they don't do something like this right away, then they certainly do after you have to take their stupid "assessment" test. I have never seen anything so stupid and so mundane in my life at all. "Oh, you have ten years of Windows server experience? Here, take this test!" The test will ask you questions that literally NOBODY uses or knows about(who in the hell actually uses RRAS?). "Oh hey, you scored low on all these parts, but we know we didn't ask you anything important. This will be a hard sell, so we'll need to drop the pay a bit. Don't worry! We'll sell you! We're good!" gently caress Robert-Half Technology and gently caress every single fuckhole who works there.

Duro posted:Ok, so I applied for a job at IBM in their in-house legal department, and they sent me an e-mail asking me to complete an online proficiency exam.... As someone that has worked for IBM, that test means absolutely dick. They don't actually use it for anything, and most times it is given to you AFTER you have received an offer. I wouldn't worry about it at all. Take it drunk is my suggestion.

psydude posted:How much gently caress you money are we talking about here? If it's one of those "Need a CCIE to recalibrate satellite dishes" then it is "gently caress you" money from the company. Aka I could work at a grocery store and make more. THAT is gently caress you money.
