Received offers for a Senior Product Manager position from both eBay(Buyer Browsing) and Walmart Connect(Display Ads), both based in the SF Bay Area. The total compensation for both roles is comparable, ranging from a base salary of $180K to $250K, along with a 15%-20% bonus and equity options. Additionally, both companies offer 2-3 remote work days per week. TC for eBay is 30% higher than Walmart Connect. I've heard contrasting work culture experiences from the two companies: eBay is often described as having a relaxed atmosphere, while Walmart Connect is notorious for its lack of work-life balance. However, it seems there has been no business growth at eBay in the past few years so I am not sure about job security. As a single female with a green card secured last year, my aspirations for the next 2-3 years are career-focused. I would appreciate any insights or advice on which offer to accept. Thank you!
Are you currently at eBay and taking internal transfer?
Stay away from walmart
Stay away from Walmart. The culture sucks and is very toxic especially in Walmart connect
May I have some examples/details if possible? Pls DM if you feel more comfortable in that way. Thank you so much!!!
If no green card concern then I would just go for eBay/the one with more money. eBay is not ideal for engineers but pretty good for PM I feel.. PM has lots of power
Go to WM, Ads experience will open more opportunities in future.
Congratz OP! If you don’t have tech experience, go with eBay. If you do, take WM offer. WLB is not good at WMC but huge growth opportunity exists. I prefer tech experience over it, though. Tech experience would open more doors. You still would be able get Walmart offer 1 year later.
