I recently joined walmart ecomm in sunnyvale, in desperation: YOE : 16 Title: Sr. tech program manager TC: 175 base, 20% bonus, 60k yearly RSU. total 270k + 60k rsu and 10 k cash joining bonus its Ecb5. questions: 1. is this competerice salary as i come from a tech background? 2. Can i ask for principal after an year of good performance? 3. what is the prinical tech program salary at walmart at my experience? 4. does anyone from walmart know what is ecb5 and what is the next level?
So is this a fair compensation at my level? What is the comp at ecb6? Is that principal?
What do you mean desperation? Walmart was not your top choice?
Its a great company, I love it so far, its just i was not in a position to negotiate anything at that point.
First, go onto the My Total Rewards section of The Wire intranet, and it will show you the salary high, low and midpoint for your level (ECB5). The midpoint is $167K, so you can in above-average. That could be because of the job code and local competitors. “ECB” is the class of technical jobs on the coasts. Different base pay than Bentonville or India jobs at similar levels. The next step up for you is ... ECB6 (surprise). Can’t help you on when/how “principal” title comes into play; I’m a business-side fuck.
Principal range is about 190-360k, very wide. My guess is you can expect 30k more RSU and maybe 10% base + 5% more bonus which push you to ~330k.
What is principal product manager base range, do you have insight? Recruiter says max is $200k, and for GPM $210k
Walmart Labs, I love. Some people (Managers) in Sunnyvale, I totally abhor.
