Please need your thoughts or opinions. I got an offer from Walmart (Senior SWE) and my H1B transfer just got approved. Currently, at VMware, my RSU stock (15K worth) are going to vest on 1st February. So should I wait that long at VMware and delay the joining date at Walmart OR Should I join Walmart now since they might rescind the offer if I join late on 1st Feb? Given the current situation between VMware and Broadcom acquisition, will VMware go to layoff in January? Is it worth joining now at Walmart and forgetting about rsu stocks? How many weeks do we have to give notice period at VMware? (2 weeks??) I've worked here for close to 1.5 years. TC: $200k, MTS2, Palo Alto, 1.5 years. Total - 4 years #engineering #stock #vesting #walmart #vmware
No.
Don't wait up. May be check if Walmart can compensate.
What if Walmart don’t compensate. Is it wise to join or wait? Thanks
You are still couple of months away from vesting. Anything can happen with current market dynamics. If your new compensation addresses the gain and you think the next role is stable (with visa limitation) then make a move now.
Do you have 3-4 weeks of PTO to burn at your current company ?
Yes I do have.
You got Walmart senior pos with only 4 yoe ? Also you can mention about the stock vest date to Walmart recruiter,maybe they will compensate for it
The offer they have given me is on higher hand side and I’m sure they won’t negotiate much I think ;(
4 yoe senior that too higher side ? Can you post the offer ?
Why not do both jobs concurrently till your equity vests?
You already negotiated and signed the offer, you knew the details at that time. H1b is approved, just move on
If you join after Jan 31st you might not get this year RSUs at Walmart as mentioned in offer letter..
+1 to this
Why is that the case @walmart ?
What’s the Walmart offer
Is it safe at Walmart compared to VMware? Which Org/team in Walmart?
Yes.
