Target Pays Techies More Than My Whole Shopping Cart
Target, the retail juggernaut with a 'tech-savviness' that began flexing in 1999, is now paying its tech squad so well it could make Jeff Bezos weep into his diaper. According to filings, a 'principal engineer can make a base salary of as much as $353,000,' making Target less Bullseye and more Bullseyeâs Bullion. Meanwhile, their tech workforce is growing faster than the line for dollar hot dogs at a state fair, ramping up H-1B visa hires to 94. EVP Michael Fiddelke insists that 'harnessing tech and AI would be critical'âbecause nothing says retail recovery like robots tucking you into your next coupon spree.
