Help decide between PayPal T25 and Walmart X5 Data Science offers. YOE 7+. Both roles are in interesting problem spaces .The hiring managers are great to talk to and are willing to support my growth These are the specific things I am worried about: 1. I have heard about arbitrary positions/ promotion levels in PayPal. Is that true?(example - staff->staff2 --> Sr. Staff) 2. Any chance of layoffs at either companies? 3. Anything else I should think about? I would really appreciate it if anyone from Walmart global tech or PayPal can provide some perspective. TCs are very similar from both companies in terms of base pay and stocks (~300k). I have yet to get exact numbers
Update your offer numbers .
TC ~300k at both
Walmart can pay higher than Paypal. You can ask for a raise. Also, I heard that Walmart has good WLB. Walmart products are better now than comparatively a few years back. To reach Amazon's level, Walmart has a good momentum run. Paypal is in touch with competition from Stripe, Shopify, Affirm and Apple.
What PayPal team?
Will be choosing team during team-matching.
PayPal is a trash company. They need to be investigated Wallmart FTW
Go to PayPal
Can you tell me why. Did you have a negative experience at Walmart?
I've worked in both the companies and both of them are 💩. Paypal hiring managers lie a lot. Watchout for that. I'd say try something else... Not a good place to jump to, especially from Meta
Product DS or ML focused DS at PayPal?
I think Walmart is more stable than PayPal in this env. Btw what titles did you get? Abd current TC? Feels like A downgrade going to either from Meta.

What’s funny is the CFO of paypal went to Walmart last year if that means anything.
He did bad job at PayPal. CEO is a good friend of him and helped him land a good role at Walmart.
