[05:38]	schestowitz[TR3]	lol! You can in at Band 6 when? It will take you a lifetime to get to Band 10 and DE, if you ever get there... which I guarantee you, you won't! IBM will do anything it can to keep you at Band 7. Good luck!

[05:38]	schestowitz[TR3]	A lot of negativity here. IBM is a great place to work I came in as a Band 6 and I am on my way to a band 7. I did Think 85 Last year and I have already done over 45 hours of learning. Why is everyone so mad?

[05:38]	schestowitz[TR3]	I like how "IBM sellers" with 0-6 months experience take selfies of themselves looking into their phones and post on LinkedIn:
[05:38]	schestowitz[TR3]	Women post pictures looking at their phone (often mirror selfies) for a mix of vanity, validation, and curation. These photos are typically used to highlight an outfit, hairstyle, or makeup (showcasing appearance) while appearing casual, "candid," or mysterious. This trend also stems from a desire for social validation ("likes") or to show a curated, aesthetic lifestyle.
[05:38]	schestowitz[TR3]	I also like when they post about "an event" they are running at a local bar and grill or golf place in Atlanta or San Fran and they randomly tell 2B LinkedIn users about it and say feel free to drop by. WTF?!?!?! Invite random strangers to an IBM event costing $10,000? WTF!?!?!?!
