The mainframe industry is celebrating 60 years in existence! That's 60 years of evolving, improving, and innovating with mainframe technology. Want to know what it's like to work with the modern mainframe? Check out these blogs in this Mainframe Careers publication: https://lnkd.in/g82X8dcY

"Reflecting on three enriching years in mainframe development, I am now seeking new opportunities as a Mainframe Developer. Eager to leverage my expertise and passion for innovation in a dynamic work environment. Open to exciting roles and collaborations. Let's connect and explore possibilities together! #MainframeDeveloper #JobSearch"

These are the types of ‘mainframe’ job descriptions I see being requested and the industry says there is a mainframe skills shortage. Well, no friggin’ wonder. I don’t know what half these acronyms stand for let alone posses whatever skills they represent. Are mainframe budgets so low you can’t hire a mainframe person without loading them up with every other job in the company? I’m surprised cleaning toilets is not on there. That will be next. I am still deciding between living the remaining of my life in poverty on social security or trying to get a job where they employ mainframe workers. Nobody should have to have this kind of a job description as it shows the abuse many mainframe workers have been subjected to in recent years. I’m dead broke but I give a big F-U to this employer for being so ignorant about what it takes to support mainframes.

All this mainframe birthday talk (Happy 60th!) got me reminiscing about my own mainframe career (no, it’s not over yet!). My first software developer job after college was on the mainframe and I knew 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 about mainframes. I didn't know how they worked, how businesses relied in it, or any of the history. I wasn’t even sure it was a smart career move because the mantra of the day was that client/server would solve everything. (How's that going by the way?) Thanks to the incredible knowledge, patience, and passion of many past and present colleagues, I think I learned enough to be dangerous😁.  I say it that way because there’s always so much more to learn, so much more to innovate, and so much more to contribute! I'm glad I took the leap with that first job, proud of what we’ve accomplished, and excited for the mainframe’s future as it continues to power the world's economy! To those just starting out in mainframe - Welcome aboard and we’re glad you’re here! Prepare yourself for an exciting and rewarding journey! #IBMz #mainframe
