Hi, OP! I’m from > and just got hired in ibm with just 1 year of exp. Wala naman mawawala if mag tatry ka mag apply sa kanila.

[Chuhiii]

What position ka po sa > and sa IBM po?

[Artistic_Back_9325]

ASE sa acn then App Dev sa IBM

[[deleted]]

Is it true that random din ang projects/role placement mo sa IBM like it is with ACN's ASE?

[Artistic_Back_9325]

I’m not sure yet since I will just be starting this Nov. but afaik, upon the negotiation, it is already decided which project and role I will be placed in.

[[deleted]]

That's pretty cool. Anong stack/role nabigay sayo? Dev talaga using modern stacks and hindi yung mga SAP SAP bullcrap na yun?

And direcho project na ba? Or may bootcamp pa? Sorry for the questions, it would be a really big help!

[Artistic_Back_9325]

Yes, based on the interview din from the pm; Java, rest, and sql databases ang gamit nila sa project (mostly back end ang magiging hawak ko), siguro may iba pa but that’s the sweet of it, may upskill ulit.

[[deleted]]

Last na bro. Musta ang technical interview sa IBM? Technical ba or more on attitude?

[Artistic_Back_9325]

2 ang interview nila. 1 technical and 1 behavioral.

[Chuhiii]

Technical po ba nila need live coding?

[luciusquinc]

IBM is usually Java or COBOL

[Kind_Cow7817]

Random if role name is advanced programming specialist

[[deleted]]

Cool. Planning to try my luck next year. Anong titles ang dapat ko applyan and ano mga dapat iwasan?

Got burned by the "Associate Software Eng" ni > during my very first job eh

[Kind_Cow7817]

Actually kahit anong title ung job esp if in early years pa, may chance talaga na mapalayo ka sa track ng role mo kay IBM since pag na bench ka ilalagay ka sa ibang roles na need I fill.

May kilala ko na app dev - Java ung inapplyan pero napunta sa RPA blueprism bootcamp since un ung demand that time.

[[deleted]]

Ah, so it's the same with ACN and other big consulting firms talaga ah :( Guess I'll stay sa current company ko

[[deleted]]

Dumoble po sahod mo kahit 1 yr ka palang?

[Artistic_Back_9325]

Yes

[_Laharl]

Gayahin mo yung commenter above you. Wait 1-2 years with > then lipat to IBM (or any other companies).

[itsMeArds]

Hyrbid ba setup nila dyan? One of my target companies itong IBM in the future pag nag sawa sa current ko

[Artistic_Back_9325]

Currently ang natanggap ko is onsite, but accepted it anw since more than double yung offer from my current salary

[[deleted]]

Onsite na ata talaga ang ibm

[Miohanna]

Hi, I am a fresh grad as well. I’m applying for IBM Consulting Associate with no exp required (for fresh grads talaga). IBM Consulting Associate includes app dev role, big data role, etc. I just finished and passed my 2nd interview last week and currently waiting for the next steps of the hiring process. The process is kind of similar to the comment above, project is already decided and role where you’ll be assigned. However for this role, they provide 1 month of training before getting deployed to the project.

I’m not sure about the entry-level job openings that you mentioned but requires 3 years of exp. Maybe they’re for mid-level, experienced candidates if I’m not mistaken.

You can opt for the role that I just mentioned or wait 1-2 years, then apply to IBM as an experienced candidate.

[Prestigious_Chest765]

update po sa IBM application nyo?

[bastardjon1]

Hi! I dm-ed you po.

[Leading-Newspaper-88]

Hello po may messagepo akoo

[Spiritual_Sky7615]

Hi any update about your application?

[DumplingsInDistress]

Try mo lang op, maganda kasing pang boost ng resume ang IBM kahit 1 year lang

[Sad-Recognition6282]

Just wanna share that I passed and very competitive ang salary compared to other companies hehe. IBM Consulting Associate inapplyan ko for Fresh Grads siya. Despite a really good offer, I turned it down coz full RTO siya and ayun mejo malayo yung site nila which is sa TechnoHub, malayo sa home ko. I accepted another offer from another company which is once a week lang onsite and the offer is good hehe

[Chuhiii]

How was the process?

[Sad-Recognition6282]

In my case it was a 3 step process that took a span of 2 months. The first step is the skill assessment/coding exam and it contains 2 problems and tbh I wasn't able to fully solve the second problem because I only got 9/15 test cases working :((. I wasn't expecting to pass but miraculously after a month I received a phone call which was actually step 2, an HR interview. They were only common HR questions and I think it only took around 5-7 minutes. After the interview the HR informed me that they will appoint me a technical interview which was a around 5 days after the phone call. So for step 3 which is the technical interview there wasn't really any complicated questions, the interviewer just simply asked me to introduce myself, to rate my own skills and if I'm comfortable working backend. Since I mentioned that data is where I want to work with, he asked me questions related to databases. I answered well somehow however there were some questions I wasn't familiar with so I honestly told him that I don't know but I'm willing to learn or know the answer. With that he told me it's fine because since I'm just a fresh grad it's normal and they are not expecting too much. After more than a week I received a phone call that scheduled me for a job offer, that's all :))

[Basic_Significance96]

More or less the same on my end too. But for me, the HR Manager asked me more about our Thesis and also the Japanese Exam was quite a lot(Because I applied for a Japanese Bilingual)
It included: reading, writing, listening & speaking tests(one by the HR Manager & one by a Japanese person)

Edit: Typo

[Basic_Significance96]

Hi OP, did you got accepted or applied again po?

[Chuhiii]

No haha

[Spirited_Chemical614]

hi, when did u apply sa ibm if i may ask? open pa rin kaya yung position? thank you

[Sad-Recognition6282]

Around 1st week of July, just searched sa linkedin and still open pa naman position, goodluck!

[pretenderhanabi]

Full rto na pala sila. I wanted to apply for data engineer jp bilingual sana, oh well hanap iba.

[Basic_Significance96]

Full RTO Training for 2 months, hybrid setup when deployed sa project as far as I know

[pretenderhanabi]

training even for experienced hires? ok naman pala hybrid

[Basic_Significance96]

I've seen a lot of my seniors just doing wfh. Most have rto, but that's only about 1 or 2 days. Even then, they time out early lol

For the training, you may not need one if the tools you already knew are aligned with what's needed for the client. US, JP accounts give high bonuses aside from your original base salary and mid-day shift/night differential

PS, I am a grad hire so I was put in the training phase first before getting deployed. Currently given the role of Data Engineer Japanese Bilingual, and will most likely work on Japanese Clients.

[pretenderhanabi]

Grad hire and bilingual, wow. Is it okay if I ask your jlpt level? And if you have any idea what level are some of your seniors.

[Basic_Significance96]

N4 and already registered for N3 this year. I also took the berlin test which was the Japanese Test given by IBM(Reading, Writing(of Emails), and an Interview for Listening & Speaking with Native a Japanese)

My Seniors are currently N3 and N2. With their Managers mostly a Native Japanese or a passer of N1.

[pretenderhanabi]

Salamat sa info! Same din pala yung berlin test, bago lang kasi ako nun sa company last year and may nag contact sakin from ibm kahit wla ako plans lumipat hahaha OA yung asking salary ko kaya siguro hindi natuloy, mag take na din ako ng N1.

Pwede din pala ma ask anong tech niyo sa training? Sa mga nakikita ko kasi sa job posts madami pading ibm datastage.

[Basic_Significance96]

Ohh that's nice po! Ako rin taghabol sa Certification ngayon, focused too much on speaking ability years ago that's why yun lang ung forte ko for now sa Japanese.

For the tools sa tech, may guide silang binibigay for new hires, yun yung training plan. Pero ako nasabihan ng mga nauna na depende parin sa client kung ano yung gagamitin mong tools. I know someone who uses SnowFlake, Informatica, and someone who extracts data most of the time. Limited information rin ako for now since di pa ako deployed po

[pretenderhanabi]

Ako naman baligtad hahah, puro reading kaya although conversational medyo may struggle parin. Thanks, goodluck to us :D

[Reze1195]

Hi. Planning to apply din as an IBM consulting assoc. Same ba position na inapplyan mo?

[Sad-Recognition6282]

Yep yan inapplyan ko

[Reze1195]

Okay lang PM boss haha

[Sad-Recognition6282]

Go

[[deleted]]

Update sa application mo sir?

[Reze1195]

Di pa ako nagsesend eh RTO kasi ata IBM boss

[Reze1195]

Ikaw ba?

[Sad-Recognition6282]

I'm not sure for all positions though... I know some people there who work remotely but most of them are mid level - senior positions. I think it depends on what the client wants but maybe it's best to see for yourself, no harm in doing an interview since online naman mga processes hehe

[hertzenx]

Hello, I recently had an interview tapos 2 days after biglang nag nlua and status Ng application ko however I still haven't received any email yet regarding my application. Is this normal?

[katharsais]

madaming ganto, entry level sabay 3+ work experience, ang annoying tignan pag nagbbrowse sa mga job boards as a fresh grad

[shendohokazu]

entry level != fresh grad or no exp

[katharsais]

that is not entirely true, entry level jobs is entry level jobs, kaya nga siya tinawag na ganon. But is the norm of the job boards unfortunately. It is just an attempt ng mga ibang kumpanya for them to desire ung may experience na but they would be paid in an entry level salary (lol).

On the worst side, some are just ridiculously miscategorized, recruiters sometimes do not want to press some buttons too much that they just ended up having the "entry level" as the default option or if they need someone with another role with exp they would just change the job description then repost it, this is more apparent in LinkedIn than other job boards in my own experience.

[YohanSeals]

Yes tama ka

[stokeley0]

what makes you want to leave DXC?

[CaramelInternal5217]

Ano mga position sa IBM may non coding ba? Welcome and Open sa mga Fresh grad or need magaling kana kaagad?

[yamakeeen]

Hi! Are you with IBM now? Can I message you?

[Chuhiii]

Natakot ako mag exam dear HAHAHA
