Thread regarding IBM layoffs

@bk I'm mostly working in React these days, but in college I did do fullstack and backend work. I've mostly been working in Typescript, Javascript. I've used Python in the past during college, and some Java.

Honestly I'm fine with any kind of work really, I just like solving problems. I do have a masters in CS.

I have mainly just been targeting senior software engineer roles, since my friend had said he applied with 4 years and that's enough, but that hasn't panned out. I'm also looking at non-senior fullstack or frontend positions, but a lot of job listings want Senior-level applicants.

@OP DEI at IBM is significantly more pronounced than at other companies, so you can use that to your advantage. IBM is also far more political than most other work environments, so it helps to devote some time to building relationships with senior leadership and becoming someone the higher-ups favor. At other companies, you generally don’t have to focus as much on playing the political game. Hard work, measurable results, and individual accomplishments tend to speak for themselves and drive career advancement.

It’ll be hard to recommend anything since you provided more to us about your s-xual preference than the very little information about your actual professional qualifications. We don’t care who you prefer to have a relationship with. What are your skills? Also, from my experience, 4 years isn’t enough to be considered a senior software engineer in most places. Tell us about your programming languages, frameworks, technical accomplishments, industry experience, or the types of positions you’re thinking of targeting, or what kind of work would make you happy.
