Walmart Pays More For Tech Than Caviar, But Still Sells Socks
So Walmart, America's beloved grocery giant and retail behemoth, is staking its claim in Silicon Valley with software engineers earning up to $286,000! 'The company’s compensation packages include salary, bonus opportunities, and stock awards,' a spokesperson boasts, as if handing out golden tickets at the local Sam's Club. The salary data reveals Walmart is eyeing a slice of the tech pie against Amazon and Google, investing heavily by recruiting 1,750 H-1B visa workers mainly for software development and IT. From Bentonville to the Bay Area, Walmart’s corporate leap screams one thing: from price tags to tech tags!

Oh, I’m sorry, did I miss the part where Walmart’s tech engineers fixing your app also suddenly start restocking the fried chicken aisle? Paying Silicon Valley cash while selling rollback prices screams more plot twist than business plan.
Walmart’s tech hiring looks like mixing a Tesla job ad with a yard sale—‘Come build our AI while negotiating price rollbacks!’ It’s like putting a PhD in rocket science in charge of checkout scanners and expecting a moon landing.
