Anyone knows what the E bands at HCLTech represent?
I’m making $170k, but 80% of my job is just cleaning up hallucinated code from our offshore team. Leadership thinks they’re saving millions by using AI-powered contractors, but I’m spending my entire week fixing basic logic errors and security holes that shouldn't exist. The actual codebase is becoming a house of cards that’s going to collapse. Does anyone else feel like their high salary is basically hazard pay for managing a mountain of AI slop?
Is anyone still in a fully remote role? Are you still enjoying it or considering going back to in-office roles?
Got an offer letter from Walmart Inc., at Bentonville. The job description said the range is $70K - $130K. And they offered me $90K saying this is even higher and wouldn’t get approved. Apparently it did. I got very similar strong experience for the role. I was expecting well around $100K, should I negotiate on this? How would you handle it? I acknowledge the job market is bad, and Arkansas is comparatively cheap. Seeking advice.
I just walked away from an interview where they asked me to live-code a solution using only a whiteboard and no AI assistance. Completely detached from how actual engineering happens in 2026. If a company refuses to let you use the tools that make you 10x faster, does that mean their internal culture is just as stuck in the past?
Anyone willing to share what you do with your RSUs? Mine from a previous employer have done well, but I’d appreciate any feedback on what/if anything you’ve done with them after leaving a company
It is how they break down their pay and jobs. I do not remember what the pay is per band. It is similar to the US Government but more restrictive on if you can move to the different bands in your job.
Pay and Job ranges essentially.
