Any sales position at IBM is not stable, get real consutling skills then get out on top.
Pros: The name and possibly some free training when you are breaking into your first IT industry job or consulting job,
Cons: All of the people I started with 15 years ago (about 100) have quit or been let go. Even the star performers were eventually stabbed in the back by their old managers who were just using them to do all their work after putting in 15 years with excellent performace!  Almost all management in IBM sales is over age 45 and has spent their career firing people under them to keep their jobs, that is until they are eventually fired in a power struggle with their boss, who may temporarily promote someone good.   STAY out of sales at IBM and get real skills in consulting if you are somehow stuck in sales.  Get certified in Project management or something.
