Was told last week I'm benched. Part of Bridge. The insurance customer funding us dried up several months ago. Should I have started applying last week? I'm hopeful I can placed internally.
I haven't interview prepped in years. I heard the job market is seriously different than when they were handing out jobs like candy during COVID. how cooked am I?
Gonna have to toughen up. Trying to stay or find something at IBM will turn into more misery.
Did your Bench manager give you access to the internal job site yet? The US job market is horrible. The best option is find something internal but opening is very few. I think you can also apply job one band up or down. Some bench manager are good and willing to help. Many others just treat them as temporary head count until the final day. Also, call your IBM connection if you are from IBM. They has more openings. Check Kyndryl external job site, some job was post on the external site only. Good Luck.
Sorry to hear it. I hope it's the start of something great.
