Same $$ Walmart : full stack team, infra and cloud. Director role leading a team of 70-80 people globally. Amazon : front end team in advertising. Senior manager(L7) leading a team of 20-40 people.
Always optimize for the scope.
What does that mean, exactly?
at Amazon you can grow your headcount quickly whereas not sure about Walmart

This is the best non answer I have seen on blind
Both terrible lol
At Walmart, most of your team will be in Bangalore with maybe a few juniors in BV. We also had product layoffs a couple of weeks ago - engineers were not affected but most of us are thinking that it will happen soon.
If it's the same dollar, keep in mind geography and how that impacts your burn rate. From everything I hear, Walmart is better than Amazon once the financials are worked out. You'll likely have better WLB and more platitude to do things if you're aggressive and ambitious.
Look for long term career growth rather than short term benefits. VP in Walmart becomes director in other companies. Afaik Amazon has a better engineering brand
Competent Sr. Directors have moved as Directors at FAANG. Some New VP’s have as well.
I actually mean this as a good-faith question: really??? I’m on recruiting team at Walmart and directors at FAANG seem above our Vp level in scope and comp
If you care about brand then amazon of course. If you care about work life balance and not kill yourself working all the time then Walmart any day. Know too many people working way too much at Amazon and it doesn’t last very long.
Walmart is a joke. I've worked at both.
I’ve worked for both and at OP’s level. WMT has less decision power but much relax life for sure. For career development, it’s case by case. AMZ gave a L7 position to wholefood CEO during the acquisition. But I also know several MBAs with 3 yoe promoted to L7. Personally, I like WMT more since I like relax life more currently.

At Walmart growth with nice WLb is easier if that’s your motivation.
