Got an offer from Goldman Sachs (New Analyst) and Walmart (Software Engineer 2) GS Base : 70k Signing Bonus : 15k Walmart Base: 73K Signing Bonus : 6k Stock : 5k YOE : 0 excluding internships Edit : GS - Texas Walmart - Arkansas Which of these companies would you recommend considering growth?
depends on team I think
walmarts probably better for growth. that said, all offers seem pretty low. I thought base for GS was in the low six figures, like 120ish, with bonuses tc comes out to like 150-160?
Choose GS. Walmart had layoffs recently. Finance industry has been minimally impacted due to Covid. Don’t just think of growth. Think short-term professional stability in a highly volatile environment. I don’t see any layoffs happening for tech roles at major finance companies anytime soon.
+1 choose GS. Walmart had lay-off for analyst positions
GS for the caste system. Can't speak for Wally
what do you mean by caste?
Walmart is low ball. I was offered Arkansas equivalent of 80k 3 years ago. Should be humming 85k+ these days. They have this weird way of arkansas equivalent * location multiplier
Did you join with Masters?
Yes. I joined on the east coast though. Not Arkansas. New offers in my office are closer to 85-90k in Arkansas terms
Walmart for better career growth and technical skills in terms of SWE vs analyst
Choose GS, Arkansas is not that good for single life
Gs
Any reason?
Both offers are so low. Are you in low COL area? I had a Goldman Sachs offer for 160k for analyst in NYC
GS : Texas & Walmart: Arkansas
I think it would depend on team and which work is more interesting
