I admit, stayed few years as work life balance is amazing. But now feel the pressure and want out. Wondering if TD is becoming a drag on our Curriculum or this is just internal depression and to the external world we are still a solid brand?

If you are currently at Teradata you should ask your yourself why? Recruiters will wonder? Do you really believe the future is bright for TDC? Do you believe it’s better technology than Snowflake or Databricks?
Not sure. Applied for positions at our biggest competitors with the exact same title. Rejected without a single interview.
Having Teradata on your resume is certainly a bonus. All the employers know them and know the skills you have. Certainly a hot market out there
If the employer is primitive enough to conclude that just because you worked at Teradata, you are obsolete, without other nuances, then it may be the wrong job. If they never heard of TD then why would they have an opinion. If they did hear and think that everything TD is on balance a liability, that's bad judgment. Yes we do have issues galore, yes the outlook is bleak if not outright ominous, but it's a beast of a technology and it does its thing quite well despite all this brainwashing from one direction or the other - for better or worse ir still kicks a$$ sometimes and beats Microsoft and Google which are some 1000z the size. I may still leave the company soon, haven't decided yet, but I'm not running away like it's the plague, I'm just wondering if the grass is slightly greener on the other side and in the meantime I feel quite upbeat about what I was able to achieve during my time here and I corrected the perception of my current interviewer and got his respect for what TD is. He was slightly surprised, now he is better informed.
Having Teradata on your resume hurts you in the market today. It’s looked at as a legacy brand. Go work for Databricks or Snowflake if you can.
I would say no. Internal frustration are not a benchmark here. TD is a solid brand (as long as it lasts)
