Below is my compensation breakdown: Annual base: $117,000 Annual Incentive: $15,000 Annual Equity: $6,000 Total compensation: $138,000 PTO days: 30 I have a hunch i could be making a lot more elsewhere with my experience and skillset. Am I delusional? #compensation #walmartlabs #walmartsalary #walmart #washingtondc #virginia
Overpaid
What are your skillsets
Java/Scala back-end engineer. Familiarity with cloud based architecture and distributed systems.
That seems low for Walmart Labs in a high COL area. But that amount of PTO days may make up for it! That is a very generous PTO policy!
The answer is simple: if you can get another job with higher pay (and willing to change jobs), then you’re underpaid. If you can’t get another job either because of skill or circumstances, then you’re either overpaid or fairly paid. Point is this: your worth is determined by 1) your marketability 2) your willingness to leave 3) how easily you’re replaceable. Finally, even if you’re a “10x” engineer, if the role you’re in is not that important, you can’t demand much! Here’s the best thing you can do: do some interviews and see what kinds of offers you get. That’ll be the surest way to find out if you’re underpaid or overpaid, or perhaps fairly paid.
You can command more money *but* it will likely come at the expense of PTO and wlb
Does that site have data on Walmart labs in Washington DC? California and New York salaries could be misleading
SE II here. I'd say reasonable. Maybe 2-5k underpaid
It is called DC to sound cool. It is actually in Reston. You can get along very comfortably by spending 45k annually.
Hey OP. Can you refer me for Walmart SE 1 position?
SE 1 is for interns. You start at se2.
