IBMers,

I have a couple of questions as my curiosity and interests have been leaning kinda towards mainframes.

1. How are mainframes utilized in 2024?
2. How does the mainframe business work? I am assuming large contracts for hosted services?
3. Is there enough growth career-wise to merit a segue from another tech related position into mainframe support?
4. Do I have to learn COBOL?
5. Are there any other companies providing similar hosted services at scale?
6. Are there any resources available to learn up on Z/OS and any other services IBM provides? (For free?)
7. Can we be friends?

Any info is appreciated.
Hats off to all the humans supporting the BIG COMPUTERS.
