Familiarity with tools like TSO/ISPF, DB2, CICS, and source control systems is commonly required, and certifications in mainframe technologies can be advantageous.

Staying up-to-date with mainframe modernization tools and participating in knowledge-sharing sessions within your team can also help overcome these challenges and support career growth.
