Weird question, but is this job listing actually for mainframes?
Post Body

I have Indeed set up to send me job notifications for applications with the word "mainframe" in the title for my zip code. I got a notification that the company SAIC had an opening for a computer operator (which is a rare but amazing entry level opportunity imo!). Although they use the word "mainframe" in the description, they also use the term "minicomputer" and "cards" which are rather... Outdated. Come to find out, they simply copy pasted the SCA Occupation codes 14040 and 14043 right out of the book. But given SAIC is a government IT company, maybe that was intentional? I don't know. My biggest question is whether or not this is indeed the unicorn job - a mainframe computer operator job. If anyone has any experience with SAIC and is/was an operator from the last decade, please let's get in contact. I really hope this is what it seems to be and becomes my ticket into the mainframe world at long last.
