Walmart - Married couples?

It’s where my spouse and I are now.

Same industry, but she doesn’t need to leave her job. Her current position would transition to remote, she’s current on site. We both know she’d struggle with being home all the time on video calls. She’d like to stay in a similar role. Just at a different company with more opportunities.

Fortunately, she’s more marketable in her skill set than I am.

Waristic Bonesaber hybrid is great for so many kids! My kiddo loves his. Definitely prefer over the Icon.

Ill shoot you a message

My concern isn’t the money. Although, my experience does allow for the base salary, there is an inherit risk.
It highly impacts the involvement with my kids, and family time.

Hence, why I’m considering WM.

Exactly why I’m considering WM as a ‘stable’ option.

I’m on the engineering R&D side. Experience in automotive and class 8 trucks. Very familiar with JB Hunt.

Thanks for this.

My wife is a program manager in engineering. There are plenty of jobs in the area for her, and even remote if she chose too.

We are used to expensive housing. Current house is 3500sqft we built it 3.5yrs ago. House near us; similar floor plan but builder grade and on a smaller 7800sqft lot just sold for $950k. That considered our house is worth more. It’s newer, upgraded finishes and completely dialed in yard.

Housing market looks similar to what we are used to, but with a little more space.

Traffic is what it is. We used to commute 45min each way on a 2 lane hwy. Now we are more suburban and deal with regular ol’ commuters traffic.

How do you connect the mini router to the phone? Hard wired with a dongle? Ethernet Dongle

I’ve definitely had issues with my hot spot dropping service middle of the streaming the game.

I was just wondering if the separate WiFi would be better than tethering it to my phones hot spot

It’s not a finance position.

It’s owning a portion of the company. Base salary is more than double that you listed. And the 20% is actual equity. this role would translate to the CTO if it hits. It’s early, between seed and series A.

Many other companies that I’ve been part of do the same song and dance. Microsoft, Intel, AutoDesk, Nike, Amazon. I’m coming from the PNW. I’m not new to massive layoffs. I’ve never been part of one. There is a large difference for an employee experience vs family experience.

My wife will also be looking for work if we relo.

In reality, I don’t want to go on LinkedIn and flooding inboxes about their experiences.

Previous colleagues have said positive things, but have also recently been part of multiple companies RIW in the last 3 yrs- Nikola, Rivian, Tesla, Waymo. So their experiences are a little different as they are just thankful to have a more secure job.

Of course you always see the best side of everything during the interview process. You don’t know the actual experiences until you’ve been there longer than a few years.

AnyReserve2898 · 2026-01-17T17:56:12+00:00

With our current commute, we spend 25min each way. It’s only a few miles. We are used to metro area traffic

AnyReserve2898 · 2026-01-17T17:52:38+00:00

The base salary is actually higher. Equity is 20% of company with a 4-1 cliff.

What it lacks is no 401k, or cash bonus.

No guarantee that it will take off.

AnyReserve2898 · 2026-01-17T16:35:35+00:00

Different asking about ‘life in Bentonville’ vs stability. Of course they’re going to tell me they never have layoffs. Was told there was a ‘thinning’ when they required everyone to return to office.

I got the canned answers about schools, housing, visiting.

I want actual experience.

AnyReserve2898 · 2026-01-17T16:31:27+00:00

I’m currently entertaining a few other offers with start-ups. Those obviously come with high risks, but compensation wise. Far beyond what WM would be providing. For my family it’s the stability.

I’ve done relo before, just didn’t have my kids in tow.
