You are exactly mid to high band. Not the highest though

Nextdoor rwcy38 OP Dec 6, 2023

Thank you! Do you enjoy working for Walmart?

Walmart sparkyEDLC Dec 6, 2023

It’s terrible to be honest. But a job is a job. Very team dependent - Walmart connect is slightly better due to much higher profit margin. For supply chain it’s likely the worst

“staff” This is right around what non seniors make in big tech. Staff engineers at other companies make 500k+ Still congrats tho. In this market even this is an achievement

Wait this looks kinda low for Staff.

Datadog moneydawg Dec 6, 2023

Major title inflation going on over there. Staff = non-senior = L4

YOE? For what it’s worth this is exactly what I make as a staff engineer at Disney

I’m at 11. This seems like a decent offer in the current market for non-faang. It’s similar to what Disney is giving out new lead/staff hires too

Braze fumanchu1 Dec 6, 2023

Ouch this seems low, esp for staff

Not in this market

Walmart pay peanuts but doesn’t do layoff . So choose what you want

I know for sure they had layoffs in 2008, 2017, and 2022. Probably other years, as well.

Sunnova Energy oLKX17 Dec 7, 2023

Ya lol Walmart is a McKinsey client they 1000% do layoffs

Walmart burnmotha Dec 6, 2023

Which office though. There are different tiers. In Bentonville, you will make less than Sunnyvale.

Nextdoor rwcy38 OP Dec 7, 2023

It's in Sunnyvale. The offer widget has a field for location.

Google gtjysj Dec 7, 2023

Base can go to 220.

Walmart pzBi54 Dec 7, 2023

Seems to be less for your experience can go easily to $220k base

Veeva serviceguy Dec 7, 2023

This is something they are playing from recent after they increased bonus I guess

Walmart sparkyEDLC Dec 7, 2023

This is not going to happen. Full stop. 2023 packages are about 5 to 10 pct lower overall. The supply far outweighs the available positions.

Walmart JSsY68 Dec 7, 2023

Base pay could be a higher but they have compensated with healthier sign-on + initial equity grant of 120K. Considering the total package, it is a good one. If you could negotiate base pay to move closer to 200k mark, you have a great deal for walmart staff engineer position

Walmart OIP Dec 7, 2023

Sign on looks low. I hired an x4 in 2022 whose sign on was 50k

Walmart sparkyEDLC Dec 7, 2023

That was 2022. This is now. Very different market
