Job advertised does not mean job available.

Arvind is definitely outsourcing IBM away from US at the next level. I've spent 75% of the last 2.5 yrs being asked to develop and train very junior resources in other countries on how to do Sr level work within our application on what I value as critical data skills, while covering for the fact that our application requires senior level resources and having to work so many different roles simultaneously.

Its a big company forced to use vampirical acquisitions and knee-je-k reactions to buzzy trends to survive financially and stay hip in the media. IBM is too big... and they absolutely don't have the insight to develop and foster its internals which creates the need for the frequent blood su-king acquisitions of other companies just to buy product or market share and to offset the loss of their own.
Anyhow I was RA'd as well and honestly i was hoping for it over the last year as the best of our team i worked with for years has been gone for some time and conferencing in on these ra-ra-ibm corporate meetings is cringing because they act like what they do has no consequences or impact on people while they are making dream money on the backs of others.

@bb IBM does not remove the listings when it starts a new round of RA's. Hiring managers are instructed to ignore applications. IBM management is slimy.

Remember too that IBM routinely removes US job posts from the system right before a big RA. They do NOT want you to find a job within 30 days - that would defeat the whole purpose of the RA in the first place. They want you GONE! (I've been through this ringer myself).
