Consult Partners Hiring?
Heard from an external recruiter that Kyndryl is hiring 20+ Consult Partners in the US, at $250k+ base. How accurate is that?
Would anyone recommend pursuing the opportunity? How's the interview process? How's the current situation at the company (layoffs, contract orders, etc)? Are the current projects really based on cloud, AI/ML, IoT, as their website says?
@2m9 i doubt it
they will eventually figure this out. I think they're growing finally
Avoid the Consult Partner role entirely. While it combines sales and solution delivery, the real issue is that the consulting team is still led by legacy IBM GTS personnel who had no consulting experience before moving into their current positions. They also lack specific industry expertise. As a result, they have little understanding of the work, yet expect Consult Partners to report to them and handle the grunt work. This is the kind of entrenched IBM “deadwood” that needs to be cleared out.
There’s a reason GTS was spun off as Kyndryl.
Correcting information. Most consult partner positions are Director level and have a base pay in the 125-225 depending on location… to be in the 200+ one would need to be in DC or nyc or sf….that 250 base would need to be. if the role was a VP.
Stay well clear from this mediocre bodyshop if you value growth and opportunity.
Kyndryl inherited all the legacy IT infra sh-t contacts from IBM and are they are dying by a thousand cuts.
The consult practice is a compete joke, has zero eminence and hires only the bottom of the barrel.
