Sr. Engineer at Target vs Data Scientist at Walmart

Hello people at blind, Please help me decide which one I should choose: Target- Sr. Engineer (work is mostly around dealing with data science problems) TC: 140k It’s been 3 months now in Target. Liking the work so far. Walmart- Data scientist III, TC: 180k. Should I stay at Target for at least year or 2 or should I move to Walmart? The position at Walmart starts 3 months from now. #data #datascience

Actually I also need to move to Hoboken. I’m also interested in knowing the WLB there.

Move to Walmart, you will get better opportunities from there.

What location did you get the Walmart offer from?

I love Target but speaking from experience, the raises are minimal and it could take years to get up to the $180k to match Walmart.

That’s true!

What's your TC breakdown at Target? Surprised that Walmart pays 20-30% higher than Target.
