If you want a good job in tech, go look at Walmart’s job board in the coming weeks. They literally have thousands of Indians doing all kinds of jobs that could easily be done by Americans. I liked my time there, and there’s lots of great people, but it felt very clear that the system was being abused.

I have to say, when one thinks of jobs available at Walmart, tech doesn't exactly come to mind first.

  As of 2025, Wal-Mart's main corporate structure has ~2500 H-1B Visa Holders, $141k median, which allegedly no citizens can fulfill. https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=wal-mart+associates+inc&job=&city=&year=2025 https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=wal-mart+associates+inc&jo...

    Maybe it’s true they can’t find citizens: - at that price - in the Bay Area But certainly they don’t have grounds to say they can’t find citizens to write JS or make apps.

      My understanding is the vast majority of Wal-Mart corporate employees are based in Arkansas.

        From my datalink, above, it seems the SFBay (Sunnyvale / Castro Valley / &al) has comparable H-1Bs to Arkansas — but these employees are spread all over The States. Not sure about citizen workforce, but I'd recon' they're similarly proportioned.

        It used to be more spread out with a strong valley presence, but over the past couple years they've been force reloing people to Arkansas. It really started to ramp up at about the time I left

  Walmart were early adopters of Node.js. Here's a 2012 article about it: https://web.archive.org/web/20221004193240/https://venturebeat.com/dev/why-walmart-is-using-node-js/ https://web.archive.org/web/20221004193240/https://venturebe...

In my old org of 80ish, like half of them were from Telegana. All of management was from there. In total, at least 80% of the org was south asian. I guess it's just a coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. And I can promise you, at least half of them were completely useless. I mean, like so useless they couldn't even figure out how to use generics without 30 minutes of handholding Also, WMT is not "in tech". Global tech is WITCH tier. The business side is run by the same type of MBA personality running Boeing They're also forcing like half the company to move to Arkansas at the moment, so a bunch of people are trying to gtfo. I wouldn't advise anyone going there, startups are probably a better option

Was this comment posted before on other threads or is it just me? Not saying it isn't relevant to the discussion, but it does seem to be worded the same.

  Nope. This is the original. Maybe someone else took my idea
