Should I join Walmart GTC Bengaluru or Amazon Ireland for the role of cloud support engineer.
I work with databases and Devops. Not thinking about compensation what may be an advantage of one over other and what may I miss out if I do so.

Going to Ireland:
1. You will miss your friends/family.
2. You will max have 1 time visit to India. You will miss the environment.
3. I think we just now defeated COVID, but if you remember during difficult COVID times you might have seen so many Indians stuck in abroad countries wanted to come back to India. During difficult times you will want to spend time with your family which you might miss.
4. We are on a verge of world war, you never know what will happen. You don't want to be stuck in some other country if that happens.
5. You will miss Indian food. You will have to get used to Ireland food.
6. You will be treated like a foreigner there. All eyes will be on you everytime just like how we see foreigners in India.

Staying in India:
1. You might miss the huge salary opportunity.
2. Maybe your quality of life will improve if you go to Ireland.
Will add points if I get anything.

First 4 points can be a single remark and the 6th is a non-issue.
I would recommend Ireland, as onsite experience is beneficial, at least personally, if not professionally as well. When else would you get such a chance in your life?

I am sure in Walmart India there is no wlb. So will suggest you to join Ireland as they will definitely adhere to European law and ur life will be easy. Wlb is important which u will definitely not get in Walmart

If not looking for compensation or savings, go for Amazon. An overseas experience will be beneficial.

More or less the compensation is same.
I'm a bachelor. So if I calculate the savings, the amount saved in Ireland wouldn't be that significant to the amount saved in India, given the city of dublin being expensive and tax deductions are high.
I needed to understand that in Walmart, the job role is basically diving deep into databases.
In Amazon the profile appears to bring in a borad perspective of things, like OS troubleshooting, network troubleshooting.
In India i will work in a team.
In Amazon they have mentioned it to be a lone contributor role. I'm not sure what may I choose.
Given that i want a sustainable career in IT ahead and I don't want to be too much dependent on a given technology/database for survival/growth, I see Amazon being a natural selection. But that is what I'm looking for in comments from all fishes.
I read somewhere people give up jobs for Amazon tag while the cloud support engineer is a top tech call center role.is that true? If anyone has an experience in Walmart that would also help.

Go with Amazon without any second thought. Its a tech company. I haven't seen any positive review about Walmart. and their work life balance. Amazon tag will give you lot more opportunity. its not easy to get shortlisted in Amazon Ireland, dont miss this opportunity with Amazon. Tech company always give you better experience. Dont think too much about other benefits.. just go with Amazon.

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.

Hi fishes
I have around 1 year of experience and i am not that experienced with negotiating salaries. I wanted to ask how do you ask for 2x or 3x hike on your current ctc as tbh sometimes i feel that i might not get a callback from recruiter if i ask for 2x hike. How to get a good hike is my main question. Your opinion on this might help me to negotiate for a better offer.
Thanks
