Laid off for 5 months Walmart offer after faang

Was at Amazon ad walmart reached out to me. I’d need to move to Benton like Arkansas. What do you guys think? Will this look bad on my resume later?

Walmart is expanding in those new areas. Why would it look bad. Living there is another story.

Thank you! I’m okay with the suburbs tried the urban city life it wasn’t for me. Concrete everywhere wasn’t great.

I lived there and it is terrible. Only worth it if you are married with a bunch of kids.

I could do a year and reinterview and move back or switch teams to Sunnyvale or Seattle at least. Could save me a lot of money and ride out inflation.

Base pay is the only difference in the compensation now. So it’s worth moving to Bentonville ( unless you don’t want to live there) . Good luck.

Thank you appreciate you!

I was working for Walmart Bentonville, u will live like a king, very decent cost of living, good outdoor activities

Amazon wHqe42 OP Oct 22, 2023

Thank you! I do like to live this way

Then it's the place for you 👍 spend some time, if you don't like then u can always move after a few years

Not a good place to be if you’re single and jumping ships every few years/climbing up the ladder. But if you want a peaceful life and have plans for family/kids in future, then I would recommend BV.

Assuming you’re growing your role, it’s a solid place to build your resume
