To those who want to stay at Dell, I would ask why you would want to do that. When Dell sold off VMware, that was a clear signal it was ending it's investment phase in the business, and was in the disinvestment part of the cycle. If you look at Dell share growth, and even Dell's growth in HCI, it was driven by VMW! What does Dell have to replace it? All of the other bits of EMC: Pivotal, Boomi, RSA, they have all been cashed out. There's nothing left to monetize. A two year backlog for GPU accelerated servers? Dell, with its biannual layoffs is not going to be a good place to work, at least not at this point in the business cycle.

Enterprise support teams in the U.S. is mostly on it's way out. In its place Dell is contracting out with Indian based third party support companies.
I suspect for each business unit (servers, storage, networking) skeleton teams will remain for Federal contracts. But that also means these teams will need to support a wide portfolio of products across each business unit.
You can try to sell Secureworks
Between selling off all divisions of the business and trying to force customers online instead of building relationships with sales teams, Dell is racing toward irrelevancy at a record pace. The people sinking the boat will be paid very well to do it, too.
