1400 of 73k posted. Which boggles my mind. Would they actually hire all of those or are a significant fraction ~duplicated postings where there is one headcount but they are willing to accommodate a range of experience/levels?

Evidently Walmart employs 1.6 million in the US and 2.1 million worldwide: https://corporate.walmart.com/askwalmart/how-many-people-wor...

Even more mind-blowing, there are some ~165 million workers in the US, so nearly one percent of all US workers are employed by Walmart.

Yeah I’m currently doing data work at a retail company. It’s not bad at all. They’ve thrown money at seemingly every product that can be purchased with a support contract: Databricks, snowflake, Kafka, presto, rstudio, tableau, tibco, informatica, and so on lol.

It’s not “prestigious” but my resume has certainly accreted some fairly lucrative buzzwords.
