Currently an L4 at Amazon, up for promo in Q3 (unsure but decent chances). Getting L5 equivalent role at Walmart (SWE-3), but pay won’t be same as Amazon L5 and the location is Bentonville, AR. Is this a good time to switch jobs given the market and everything? Current work culture at Amazon is not the best, tight deadlines and couple of unsupportive team mates. Manager says it would get better after project release but knows. Green Card process is also paused for 2024 but is not in Walmart. Any suggestions would be appreciated cause I am confused. Amazon TC: 230 (Exceeds the bar stocks) Walmart TC: 200
Pick Walmart you can always come back to Amazon later and make more money once you’ve i140. I’m in the same boat and leaving Amazon
Walmart might be good but Bentonville not so much!
Walmart is a shithole with zero learning I would not do it. Amazon hasnt been the best either but it is way better than walmart
Moved to Walmart recently, tons of learnings, it’s going to come get you Amazon
Lol you could pay me double and I wouldn’t move to AR
It's ok we don't want you here anyway
You work in Arkansas? I didn’t realize Amazon hired bottom of the barrel in intellect
Total shithole. Don't switch. Look for better
Walmart is trash AF currently..avoid 😂😂..you’ve been forewarned!
With 200K in Bentonville, you’re actually getting a TC bump, compared to 230K current TC in Seattle. You’ll be able to save up, if this helps.
Walmarts i140 process is a n absolute nightmare..its badly screwed up plus the toxic culture from ex-Amazon leaders is making this place unbearable
Major layoffs happening at Walmart now
If you are doing well, you like your team and supervisor, don't change. Just be aware, Walmart has rarely any good manager.
Managers are always bad when he/she is yours. For others they are really nice people like you 😊
