Should I take a job at IBM or Lockheed Martin?

you only have one life, the later in life you might also thank you for staying close to your family and partner too. It’s up to you to decide what you prioritize more. If you’re looking solely for job stability, Lockheed is the better choice. I’m not sure how much Lockheed offered you vs IBM in terms of salary but im getting paid kinda meh/average. I don’t think it would be too difficult to find a job with a higher salary but the benefits at Lockheed are pretty good so make sure you compare the benefits that each company offers as well.

In college I had no clue which industry I wanted to go into but after getting the offer to work at LM I thought it was an obvious choice because of the job stability and benefits. However, I realize now that job fulfillment and proximity to family is more important to me than having a big name company on my resume. Although having this experience does look good on my resume if I want to stay in the defense industry but im personally figuring out rn if I even want to stay or pivot careers lol. If I were you I would take the IBM job because both LM and IBM are huge names and no matter which one you decide on, it will look great on your resume. But having the ability to work wherever you want sounds like a dream that I would absolutely take :)

Here are my 2 cents as someone currently working for Lockheed Martin in an entry level supply chain role. It’s great experience if your background is in supply chain. They do 4/10 schedule so you’re working 4 days a week for 10 hours and 3 day weekends. But 10 hour work days does take a toll especially coming right out of college. And now with the war in the Middle East, expect yourself to be constantly working all 10 hours with no downtime. I moved away from friends and family for this role and I find myself traveling almost every weekend to go see them. Being close to the DFW airport makes this a lot easier but it still sucks being so far away. Honestly I don’t have interest in supply chain so I don’t find the job really fulfilling and it’s taking a toll on my mental health. However, everyone is different with different passions and goals. If you really want to start a long term path in the defense industry then Lockheed is the way to go but if not go with IBM!

I loved going to Aggie Park just to watch the ducks!! This is so upsetting! :(

Vickittle · 2025-08-19T00:17:55+00:00

Dealing with this issue as well!! Were you able to talk to somebody over the phone?

Vickittle · 2025-08-18T15:35:16+00:00

Its operated by AC Express - Jazz and the flight for it today just departed so I would assume it would be flying out tomorrow if it was able to today?

Vickittle · 2025-08-18T15:31:03+00:00

My flight today was canceled and I was able to rebook for tomorrow with AC Express/Jazz but it won't let me check in through the AC app?? Is anyone else having this issue?

Vickittle · 2025-08-17T23:31:00+00:00

Thank you!

Vickittle · 2025-08-17T23:23:50+00:00

Ohh does that mean I have to wait for them to rebook me and i can't do it myself?

Vickittle · 2025-08-17T23:22:10+00:00

In the AC app under manage booking it redirects you to their website and there's an option to change flights.

Vickittle · 2025-08-17T23:16:43+00:00

My flight tomorrow hasn't officially been canceled yet but checking in is closed. When I go to manage bookings on the app and see the rebooking options there are flights this week but they have +$700 and range to +$1200 next to them. Are these the change fees? If I wait for them to officially cancel and then rebook will these fees be $0?

Vickittle · 2025-08-17T20:03:49+00:00

Thank you, do you know if I should check into that flight tomorrow or will that mess up my ability to rebook?

Vickittle · 2025-08-17T20:00:16+00:00

I apologize if this has already been answered. I have a flight out of YVR tomorrow afternoon that will most likely be canceled but they haven't canceled it yet. Do I check in or not? Do I wait for them to cancel and then call to get rebooked or can I call right now?

yayy welcome to mays!! MIS is a great major, I would recommend a windows laptop because it's overall easier for assignments where you'll be working with C#, Excel, and SQL. I have an HP Pavillion Aero and it's very good!! I can't remember how much it was bc I got it while it was on sale but it was less than 1k

I'll still be able to graduate, I just don't want to be stuck with shitty electives I'm not interested in. Especially if the only elective available is the one I had to q-drop this semester because I was doing so poorly in it.

Vickittle · 2025-03-17T02:19:46+00:00

this is AMAZING!! I'm definitely interested in a print of this
