I would bet a large portion of software engineers work in Big Companies. FANG employees comment regularly here and they work for the biggest companies in Tech.

- ginko 3y agoEven in a FANG you can't just walk to your manager and tell them to get a mainframe so you can play around with z/OS.
- wil421 3y agoNo one will let you play with a mainframe. I’ve worked for finical services companies and toured a data center with large IBM mainframes I wasn’t allowed to get close to much less touch the software. I’m sure if I wanted to move to the team it would’ve been possible to play with z/OS.

- ethbr1 3y agoI feel like the irony here is that for all the fences most companies put around their mainframes... at the end of the day and inside the fence it's usually 1-2 people running everything who still know how to hack JCL et al.
