I got an offer from another company. Currently working in walmart. The main idea behind getting an offer is to ask for a salary rise. I was very much underpaid here. So I thought getting an offer will help increase my pay here in walmart by getting counter offer from them. But i am not sure if I discuss with my manager it will backfire me.Walmart

I joined recently and am super surprised by how great my team is so far. they highly value wlb and my career development. At the end of the day, it’s all team dependent. I have read so many contradictory things about one org versus another
Yep, I asked specifically about it
Overall there are a lot of teams where people are stressed and do not have WLB, but there are some good teams as well.
There is a reason that the pay is high and is structured in a way that penalizes you leaving within the first couple of years (back-loaded stock, and large sign on bonuses with claw-back clauses).
I too am curious about the teams with a more balanced work life.
I don’t know anyone in Ads who has a WLB!! Been there over two years
What role? Product teams can be stressful, and some have extremely narrow scopes which can get very boring very fast. Business teams have great WLB mostly but there is a ton of work duplication and politics. Pick your poison.

It is very dependent on your leader. From a career perspective, it is a no brainer to take this role. Adding Amazon to your resume, in addition to SAP makes you so much more valuable, and will naturally grow your network which will pay dividends for the rest of your career. The comp seems like a clear win as well.
If you actually have the offer in hand, now you can ask the hard questions about WLB and reduce some of your questions / concerns.
If you need help developing the right questions to ask and negotiating for more money, I'd be happy to see if I can help. If so, hit me up on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/alanjstein
Have heard good things - a lot better WLB and people than some of the other departments
