a job in another big tech-related Company like Oracle, Dell, IBM, MS, etc

If your experience is in IT per se (programmer, DB, business system analyst, etc.), I wouldn't recommend at all looking for a job in another big tech-related Company like Oracle, Dell, IBM, MS, etc., etc., because sooner or later it will be the same nightmare for you.

In the last 2.5 years I've been on an IT job with a health-related Company, and I've been here much more appreciated. Yes, I might be earning a bit less, but I work 8-5; have excellent benefits, and now I have time to play with my kids, and be present on all their activities. In addition, I feel stability, which was something I never felt in my 9 years at IBM. My wife and I haven't been happier in years... I hope this helps someone.

I finally had enough of dealing with the stress of the instability of IBM. I left three weeks ago and found a better company and am content that I won't have to wonder if I'll be among the next round of cuts.

Totally agree ... family first. When you look back on your life; spending time with friends and love ones far exceed working mega hours for an organization. I know because I was a workaholic and fortunately I was cured.

I think that's a good thing. Big IT these days is always going to have a foot on your throat. The days of 'being well taken care of" are gone with these large firms.

Makes sense
