How many hours do you think a Walmart store manager is working lmao? They earn every penny and should probably earn more (Walmart is a $500B company).

A $400K job in consulting is substantially easier and lower stress than a $400K job managing a Walmart.

It doesn't matter, lots of conversations lately on blue collar (not necessarily talking here about WM) jobs raising salaries to consulting entry level figures.. consulting 15 or 20 years ago was solely compared with white collar high end salaries, industry caught up.. and now lower level positions are catching up. That WM store manager for 15+ years will have a sweet bank account

funny

There’s a great deal of ignorance with people on here and the disrespect when it comes to jobs outside this “prestigious” consulting world. The job as WM stores to push 400K is insane. It does not require the same bs on “strategic and executive” crap, but the work that goes in there is insane. Also dealing with massive number of employees and the types of customers that shop there is ridiculous

You’re not so good at the math huh? The OP is $400k TC. What do you think 4x means?

Or do you no believe TC is $400k to begin with.

Apple Retail is the only retail gig I’d consider

In addition to what the others have said most Walmart staff start by working as entry level staff and move up. You may get to $400k by being manager but that’s after working at or near minimum wage stocking shelves for years in hopes of getting the one manager slot.
