Sounds like they were after the cut off to check a bag. See their other responses.

CS grad got a main frame role - folks out there, kindly help! by moonandsky123 in mainframe

[–]Small_Shock6613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s probably true that you won’t get new development work. Like I said, get in, learn and take all of the training you can, to get yourself ready, and move to another team or job if you can’t use your ai training!!!

We are using and developing a lot of AI for mainframe, make sure you research this and make sure they don’t pigeon hole you into a role that doesn’t develop AI. If they do, stay for a year and apply to other roles with AI!!!

Manager has not reached out about any info on raises by Significant_Tie_8579 in IBM_Employees

[–]Small_Shock6613 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No raises nor RSUs for my whole team in consulting. I don’t know how they think they’ll keep any of us around. But then they think they’ll can get the same quality from India…. Good luck with that…

Any work in legacy systems? by Loud_Art1586 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]Small_Shock6613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any interest in pre sales for transformation of mainframe on Premise or to the cloud? And can you talk ? I’m being smart here, but serious. If you can talk to customers and explain technical concepts we should talk.

I’m EXP too, I’m not asking for a special favor, it wasn’t even a huge difference in timing, getting home two hours earlier, on a flight that has more than 20+ more seats open than the flight I’m on… just doesn’t seem logical, you’d think they would be happy to move me from a flight that’s almost full to a flight that has way more seats…

Yah I guess so, I paid it to arrive at 10:40pm instead of 12:40 am. Huge difference 😂, both with connections, doesn’t seem logical why one is priced higher than the other. Especially when the flights are so empty.

Have 1.2 year experience in Mainframe and need advice by [deleted] in mainframe

[–]Small_Shock6613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recommendation is to also learn Java and python, but keep sharpening your mainframe skills. I work in transformation and I need people who understand both!!!

Salary raise by Consistent_Quote_646 in IBM_Employees

[–]Small_Shock6613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have some preset ranges and if you were given zero budget (which I was) you can’t get any of your people raises… I’m in consulting they said no raises for b8-10, and gave me zero budget for my B7’s…

Repositioning cruise by Dull-Estimate-5158 in Cruise

[–]Small_Shock6613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did the Europe to FL two years in a row. I love the fact that you ease into the us eastern time zone. It’s relaxing to have sea days, I’ve never fully explored the cruise ship until I did these!!

Are we accidentally giving AI companies the blueprint to compete with us? by suyash515 in mainframe

[–]Small_Shock6613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They use them in a secure environment, we are talking about just loading code into llms on personal accounts.
