DXC on your resume is not a disaster, unless you've been there in the same role for many years with no advancement or progression.
I left after 2 years, and am moving on again now. DXC on my resume has not been a problem in terms of securing interviews or new roles.
Leaving DXC 3 years ago got me a raise of around 25%, and my latest move adds a further 20% on top of that. So I wouldn't say it's caused me any problems.

Speak for yurself mate. In my case, I not only matched my DXC paycheck but exceeded it significantly when I made my move.
Mock DXC the company as much as you want, along with its worthless and management. I am with you on that one.
Do not mock the hard working and hard-done DXC foot soldiers. They have enough calumny being heaped on them even without being mocked in forums like these.
DXC shouldn't make a difference. Few recruiters I've spoken to knew who DXC was. Although one said "I've heard of them, what do they do?"
Recruiters often expect a CV to show a trail of 3-5 yrs jobs so they see a kind of advancement trail. If you've been at once place for 10 years, they might ask "Why have to stayed there for so long?" I assume because they think you might be too used to doing things one way and may struggle with fitting in with new cultures. As their payment can be delayed up to 6 months whereby they only get 20% if you leave after 2 months and 100% if you complete 6 months.
You can make tell them how you had so many new client opportunities (at DXC) that you had no reason to leave, but as they continue to downsize and continue their move towards low-cost countries, that the opportunities open to you have diminished and so you are now ready to look for new challenges elsewhere, where you can lend your experience to helping other businesses....or some such stuff and be honest about the work you are looking for, but don't limit your scope too much.
Well, when you go outside you have to earn your paycheck, which most dxc'ers have forgotten years ago.
No issues. Left DXC after 5 years. Just tell the recruiter you needed a change and are looking for a company culture that’s a better fit for your career aspirations. You don’t need to blast DXC, everyone knows they suck. Focus on why you are leaving and spin it in a way that reluctantly shows respect for DXC but gets you out.
Speaking to recruiters, they are more concerned about candidates who have not considered VR and who might then withdraw when they realise they could be sitting on a few grand. Would take more than a few grand to keep me here.
Cleared earlier this year and got into a new job. There was absolutely no trouble due to DXC on the resume. Quite the contrary, that was actually viewed as a positive. Employers are able to distinguish between DXC the rotten company, and its hard working employees who come with a wealth of knowledge of working for blue chip clients.
That knowledge is not tainted by the brand name, everyone knows why the brand is going down at the moment, and no one blames the employees for it... so DXC is a valued badge on your resume. Go for it.
