Hello everyone, i have 5 years of experience as a backend SWE. Currently have a walmart x3 and cisco level 8 offer. YOE : 5 Cisco interviewed way before walmart but gave me an offer last week. My h1 has already transferred with Walmart Walmart : 113k base Bonus 15% Stocks - 50k grant / year vested over 3 years Y1 TC - 146.6k Y2 TC - 163k Y3 onwards - 180k Cisco: 145k base Bonus 7% Stocks - 25k grant vested over 3 years Y1 TC - 163.5k Y2 TC - 163k.5k Y3 onwards - 163.5k 3 years TC AVG is about the same, walmart would be more year 4 onwards #swe #software
I wouldn’t leave c1 for either of these tbh
I’m not ft with capone
you should get an initial stock grant with walmart too
Updated the post for clarity
you should still get an initial new grant then you get a yearly grant btw
It really depends on your career goal. They are in completely different industries
Yes It’s not the core cisco engineering teams, it’s cisco commerce
Lowball u should be senior SWE at Walmart
How is wlb at walmart?
Depends on team but ok, I generally don’t have any complaints - the pay is not that good tho
You’re getting downleveled for Walmart.
Cisco >> Walmart
That Cisco offer is 100% on the low end of G8, I’d push for more. Also keep in mind Cisco does annual layoffs so if you join a bad org/team you’re boned.
Layoff is the main thing to worry about in Cisco apart from internal team politics 😂🤣😅
Cisco probably has better engineering practices. It's also nice that base is higher. Plus Raleigh is a much nicer city than anywhere in Arkansas. Not to mention there's actually other tech companies there.
OP! The base is peanuts at Walmart! Didn't you negotiate? What's the location? Also - How was your interview process w.r.t timelines?

Who are these retards asking for dictatorship in India?
For 5 years they're both low balling the hell out of you
I mean it’s not bay area salaries, and they are definitely at par with levels.fyi
I've had offers from both of these companies with 1 year less than yours (4 years) and both have been higher. Don't remember the exact breakdown but after negotiations it was around 200
