Question: How to FIND opportunities in Mainframe programming, in Boston, MA? Smart answers; no ref 2 job boards, pls.? I plan to identify potential employers in the area of Mainframe programming, and target them individually for job opportunities. How do I know who works with Mainframes? Any tips on identifying them, before they post their job ads?
Answer: Well, then classified ads in newspapers, maybe? Call 'em and ask 'em? Sorry that you don't want to use the one resource that might help you, since Dec, IBM and Sun aren't likely to share their customer lists with you. By the way, I missed where it says find programming and design employment at the top of this page:-)
Question: what is IBM mainframe? can we have opportunities for that? i hav ecalled from ahmedabad GIIT. they can teach me IBM mainframe. can any1 tell me . is this a right choice.. or it is old now. pl give me brief idea. i have done BE IT & Master of e-business.
Answer: Hello - I have had 25 years in IBM Mainframe and as much as I hate to say it - don't get training in it. The technology, although it is always updating is old. Mainframe employment is near zero and every job that becomes available is so fiercely sort after you have to be absolutely top notch.
Learn Unix technologies as this seems to be the future for large scale computing.
Hope that helps you.

Question: What is IBM Mainframe technolgy? What is IBM Mainframe Technology and after doing the course of that. what's job opportunity in India for mainframe technology ?
I confused bcz afer completing my B.E I.T should i go in this course or not?
IBM is not offer but some other institute offer this course.
Answer: Is the course being offered to you by IBM or are you just thinking of taking it? If IBM is offering it to you I suggest you take it. IBM is a good employer.
IBM is the market leader in the mainframe industry. I am sure they are represented in India so after taking the course you can apply with them. There are other mainframe vendors you can apply at like Unisys. I hope this helps.
Peace and blessings!
Question: i am currently getting training in IBM mainframe.i want to know the career growth and opportunity in this ..? i am interested in going to investment bank area. will it going to help me in any way?
Answer: Hello, I have been working on mainframes in the insurance sector for the past three years. I can assure you that mainframe developers will never go out of buisness, simply because its an old technology and most financial organisations have atleast one or more mainframes and overall the technology doesn't change much over the years...In open system technologies like .net , ASP etc, any training you get may become useless after 2-3 years whenever newer technologies come in and replace it, so you need to be up to date with it. But in mainframes thats not the case and you will have ample job openings in most companies..Also, most mainframers also need to understand the business/domain very well, so this gives a chance to get into client communication potential abroad opportunities are much higher in mainframes than other technologies, so you should feel lucky if you like travelling..... I have been to UK for 1.5 yrs out of my 3 yrs of working on mainframes, but a few others haven't been that lucky who work on other technologies.

Answer: IBM Mainframe is a generic term that references their high end data servers. Over the years, the term has applied to various IBM products that are not exactly compatable. Many of them are aging technologies. They revolve mostly on RPG, Sequel (an older, crappier form of sql), and Sometimes Cobol languages. Its debatable if their modern websphere infastructure is part of the group.
There will always be work on legacy mainframe systems. They are not the sort of thing that you can just sit down at & figure out in a week or two without training & practice. Comapnies have invested millions of dolars in their infastructure and its a sunk cost. Although there are many better platforms out there (like microsoft sql server coupled with asp.net), many of these companies will not root up their systems & switch. On the short side (small projects) most companies will migrate in 10 years. Most company's infastructure are not short projects.
Its a very crappy programming job & I would really shy away from it if you could.
Question: Is Mainframe in boom.Completed B.tech (2003-2007). i am very much interested in it. do i have jobs vacancies? I am very much interested to join in a mainframe course. i wanna know from the expertise whether there are job opportunities for this... and also guide me the institute to join for mainframe course in bangalore.. i will be thankfull for ur advice
Answer: From job perspective, mainframe is not the good option. It was 15 years back and not now. Most of the organisations have moved away from the mainframe as more and more smaller, cheaper computers are being made available at similar processing power. Secondly, mainframe skills have become difficult to find because of the dwindling prospect.
Having said that, if you realy want to work on Mainframes, join a Tier 1 indian IT company (if u r in India) and they will be able to give you an oppurtunity to work on it. But do not make it as Go to market skill right at the begining.
Question: BSc in Physics with Computers with 1 yr exp for main frame? Hi I am a BSc graduate with 1 yr experience as a Tech Support. I am interested in Mainframes. What are my chances and what certifications should i take. What are the opportunities in India?
Answer: Don't know about India, but in the U.S. if you are trying to get serious about Computer Science, in any aspect at all, and have a degree in Physics most employers will think you studied the wrong subject all together. Worse yet, it has been my observation that a BS in Physics does not get you very far in the field of Physics. Even a MS is not very good. Different fields seem to have different "pecking orders": if you have a BS in engineering, you are an engineer. In chemistry it seems to take a MS and in Physics a PhD is the key. Good luck.
