GC filing and job security is currently a priority for me. Which offer to choose? Please give reasons, if any, in the comments. Visa Inc : TC 186K. (155K base + 10% annual bonus+ RSUs - usually 10-30% given annually but it’s discretionary/not guaranteed) No sign-up bonus or upfront RSUs given. Immigration team is BAL. They will initiate GC process 1 month after joining. Hybrid, but they have free bus shuttles for commute. Walmart Connect : TC 226K (155K base + 20% annual bonus + 40K new hireRSUs, additional 40K RSUs will be given starting from 2nd year) No sign on bonus. Immigration team is Fragomen. They will nominate for GC process 3 months after joining. Hybrid, same long commute as Visa but no company bus shuttles. I know both are lowballing, but given the current job environment, if you had to choose : which one would be better? Please do comment with your reasons, if any. Appreciate all thoughts on this!

Just FYI it is pretty common for bonus to be paid more than 110%. You can estimate 150-180% depend on how you perform
FYI- Walmart has shuttle to both Sunnyvale and San Bruno offices..
What's your position offered for Walmart?
You need to spread the Walmart RSUs over the vesting period, which is 3/4 years. This means true annual TC is actually closer to 200. Not sure how this compares to Visa's approach to equity grants, but it might give a better direct comparison.
Its 3 years now.
I wanted to mention, Walmart does has shuttles. Not covering full bay area, but it might work for you based on your location. Also, Walmart says that you're eligible after 3 months, but there something I got to know after I joined. They only file GC for all the nominated employees once every quarter. So if your 3 months are completed but you're in the middle of quarter, you'll have to wait for next quarter
This! I had to wait five months because my three months finished just after the previous nomination cycle ended.
Hello OP, How long did walmart take to get back to you with offer/decision after your interview loop?
Where is the poll?
Oops..forgot to add. Just added
