Jackson Lewis - no (or very small). Littler - yes. Basically comparing Walmart to Whole Foods

funny

Yeah, I was thinking this comment was a serious burn for Whole Foods, but at the same time, WF is owned by Amazon, so not sure who should be more offended. In any event, the Walmart/Target analogy is a much better one.

I got a 10k signing bonus with JL. Not a major market like California and I was fairly junior at the time maybe 2-3 years experience. So you may be able to negotiate more

Good to know. Thanks for sharing!

I got $15k from JL as a 4th year in a non-major market.

Good to know. Thank you!
