I have about 2 YOE nearing 3. I make $85,000 as a government contractor working with mainframes.
I got an offer from IBM, only $69,000 with $5,000 signing bonus. The position is for application development on mainframes that would involve heavy travel. Up to 3 days a week away from home.
This seems extremely low, even for mainframes.
Before I went through with the interview process I said I was looking to make at least $100,000.
The recruiter keeps saying they see potential and blah blah.
How low is this offer? Is $100,000 unreasonable given my YOE and the technology?

No innovation happens there, it’s a low cost business unit due to low salary and nonexistent benefits.
It’ll take you a few years to get back to your current salary, assuming you get on with your management
You might start out with crap TC, but at the end of that ten year contract go work for Cobol Cowboys billing out fintech places for $500 an hour lol
