Hi Fellow Blinders,
(Edit: Microsoft raised their offer and decided to go with Microsoft)
I wanted to start off by thanking everyone on Blind for helping me on various occasions.
Before I start I just want to give a small background. I have been going through Dev Plan in Amazon and had shared a post a few months back and really want to thank everyone for their support.
I am currently looking for some place with Good WLB and a good work culture.
Thankfully I have now two offers to decide from:
Walmart Global Tech - Sunnyvale
SWE3
Base - 145k
Bonus - 16% of Base
RSU - 25k annually with 25% vest
(Updated)
Microsoft - Redmond
SDE2
Base 140k
Sign on 20k
Bonus - 20% of Base
RSU - 80k till 4 years with 25% vest.
Refreshers upto 25k annually
Other Microsoft perks
Having said that I really loved the project at Walmart since it's something that is just starting off and opportunity to work on Open source technologies and also I want to move to Bay Area as my friends and family are there and I believe would help me mentally after my ordeal at Amazon.
But most people around me still advice Microsoft considering name recognition, Visa support and job security so am confused.
Need help again guys to decide. Thanks in advance.

Would you rather be at Microsoft where others will use your software or will you want to be at Walmart using others software ?
Most retailers have very limited growth opportunities to move up because there are like 5 departments.
Trust me I have seen majority of peoples careers get stuck in retail.
I'm just worried that Microsoft would mean more or less the same thing , working with company internal tools where I think the open source technology experience would help me out in future as I already have a name brand in my resume.
And go to Walmart
