I'm SE3 and am looking at offer from Walmart Reston VA office (not Walmart labs, not CA or Sunnyvale) TC: ~150k What's the culture like? Does anyone have experience with Reston VA office? Is the TC good for Reston Virginia area? YOE: ~4 yrs No kids, not planning to have any. Have a 🐶 though. What's a good place in/around Reston to live[rent] in? UPDATE: Thanks for the info folks. I chose a different offer in San Diego #tech #softwareengineersalary #walmart #offer
idk what sde3 yoe or comparison is but in nova i believe capital one is the usual standard.
I'm not sure if I follow...

I think the TC is good for the area. I got offers for 110-130 base a year ago in NoVa. Reston is newer, and there are a lot of new luxury apartment buildings near the metro station. Most of the younger crowd is in Arlington, but that’s a little far. Tyson’s/McLean also has some nice new apartment buildings for the same price range and it’s not so far out.
Tysons, Vienna, fairfax are all good. Probably chantilly, Annandale, merrifield, or centreville would work too.
Congrats on the offer? How was your interview experience? LC hard medium or easy? Any system design?
LC medium 2 questions. Can't remember which one. One design question on designing APIs and then question about Java and Srping framework. I chose another offer
How does the TC breakdown between base and stock? 150k seems low.

YOE, single or married or married with kids? I live near here! TC is good for the area depending on ur scenario above. Can’t help with the role or culture but Northern Virginia is a great place to live!
My base would be around 120k, what would be a good place to rent. Very unsure of the area, I saw reviews that it's expensive for nothing, also driving can be mess around the highways, which cut through the city, I'm young 27 and heard it's a place mostly for old affluent people. Btw It's just me, my partner and my pup.
Yeah NOVA (northern VA) is a very affluent area which tends to have older ppl as well but Reston is like a mini city that is good for younger ppl! A lot of bars and restaurants but it is expensive. If both you and ur patented are working you guys will be able to live comfortable. You could also live in other nice places if you don’t mind taking public transportation like the metro. Traffic sucks just like anywhere where a lot of ppl live but depending on where you live the commute wouldn’t be too bad. These other nice places are Crystal City, Ballston, Fairfax, McLean. If you have you have any more questions lmk!
