Not according to Levels

https://www.levels.fyi/companies/walmart/salaries

The highest one in retail is Walmart.

Level 5 comp for Walmart is about the same as a mid level developer at Amazon and Amazon is in the middle of the pack for tech compensation.

Again you still refuse to name a company and level and numbers.

If you knew anything about this you'd know "Walmart" isn't what you search.

But if you knew anything about English you'd know "ballpark" doesn't mean "exactly equal".

You said top 3 company in retail. Walmart is the highest in the F100 in retail. Again name names if you can’t, you’re obviously full of it.

Like I said, if you don't understand what's going on here, you're not qualified to have this conversation.

You’re right, I’ve only been in the industry for 27 years across 8 companies including my current one working at BigTech where I do cloud consulting for other large enterprise companies.

What do I know?

And yet you still haven’t been able to prove your claims that “most” pay about the same.

You linked to a site that literally showed Walmart's non-tech arm (hint: the majority of the tech jobs at Walmart aren't under 'Walmart' on levels.fyi) paying comparable salaries (you yourself compared them)...

But yeah, all those 27 years of experience totally weren't just you sitting in a chair somewhere, being "part of the team". Got it.

> prove your claims that “most” pay about the same.

first prove I claimed that (hint: I didn't)

I'm starting to think you got fooled into thinking BigTech was the only option, and are now discovering how untrue that actually was.

Now I’m still waiting for you to prove your claims which were “Most Fortune 100 companies are competitive now” and you haven’t provided a single link.

Well

A) seeing that when I started working, only one of the current FAANG companies existed, I know that FAANG isn’t my only option.

B) seeing that I specialize in cloud architecture and modernization + dev - ie “system design”. I think I’m at the right “F100” company.
