DXC or HCL for Mainframe Dev? Help me decide!
Hey everyone 👋 I’m at a crossroads with offers from HCLTech and DXC for a Mainframe Developer role. I’ve got 3.7 years in COBOL, DB2, JCL, VSAM, and IMS, and I’m aiming for technical growth, solid projects, and leadership potential. 👉 I want to sharpen my IMS and VSAM skills, build a strong career, and move into tech leadership. If you’re at either company (especially in mainframe), your insights would be awesome! Which place is best for learning, recognition, and long-term stability? Thanks a bunch! 🙏
