Currently an IC5 data scientist at Meta with 7 YOE overall and 350k TC. I will be getting an offer from Walmart soon for X5 staff data scientist. ( No numbers yet) Firstly I don't want to move unless Walmart provides 450k since I will be getting over 400k at Meta soon. So, is it worth moving to Walmart from Meta at this point? #data #datascience Not sure if they'll provide the comp that I'm expecting.
Wtf Walmart? Why? Is this a troll post
You think you’ll get 400 as IC5 DS as Meta looks to cut 40% of them? If you do, you’re definitely ripe for trimming. IC4 research ml are getting trimmed left and right and they could’ve theoretically replaced you lol. Walmart won’t pay you more lol
Y u talk out your ass. Lot of wrong assumptions here.
Walmart matching 350K is unlikely to happen. Staffs prolly get like 300 Smoking something this Saturday? Don't pass it to anyone else
Walmart X5 DS(at wm DS is more of AS/RS ) Hcol would be roughly the below 200k base + 100k stocks(vests 1/3rd every year, with 100k refresher every year) + 20% bonus on base + any sign on to compensate for 1st year low stock. Overall, it should be almost the same or 10% lower pay , but better wlb and job security.
What's the higher end for stocks for X5 DS? And thanks so much for this breakdown. Super helpful !!
Stocks are fixed by level, location and role at wm. Base can be negotiable. I'm not sure if they are entertaining that given the market. However, depending on performance, you'll have a multiplier on bonus and stock. Stock starts vesting quarterly after the grant is made.
Will GenAI make DS obsolete in a few years. Even SWEs are at risk
GenAI will obsolete tasks first and decision makers last
DS is hard to make obsolete, it involves communication. Making dumb management understand what to do. No advanced AI can understand how dumb these management can get. Where SWE is easy to automate, every component of SWE can be automated, requirements -> AI -> Code. Although GPT4 is still a baby(bad buggy code), GPT10 atleast.
Walmart x6 ds will be where you can get 400k. X5 will not get you 350k.
You wont get 450k TC. Do us a favour and stay at meta.
Can someone refer for DS roles at Walmart? Also OP, can I ping you for prep help? Ty in advance
DS is a targeted role for layoff in meta. They are considered expensive for the productivity they bring. No way you will make 400. You could get laid off in May however
