IBM folks can you comment on equity/stock options?
Do they offer it at all? If yes at which grade and how much?

Is there a joining bonus?

    You need to ask for higher base salary instead of stocks. That’s why the few Ex Googlers at IBM have 220k+ base salaries. Advantage is your TC value can’t go down like if it’s RSU so your less risk proned by compromising in higher base.

      I’m in F&O work on SSO / W3ID / 2FaaS initiatives. However I am working on some cutting edge blockchain / decentralized identity stuff ... that is what’s keeping me at IBM as well as my boss who is a Master Inventor and an awesome human being

    They started this thing where top 1/3 of performers get stocks. But they're so low it doesn't really matter. I got like 10k as B8 vest over 2y. Idk the cadence of this program or if they're still even doing it. First time was early 2020 afaik (same time as layoffs...it was pretty sad)

    Lol unless you’re applying for an exec role you’re not getting stocks. Joining bonus can be from 5k-15k depending what band
