I would recommend considering Walmart over PocketFM, primarily due to the latter’s instability in terms of workforce management. PocketFM has developed a reputation for frequent hiring and firing cycles, which raises concerns about job security and long-term growth. In fact, I recently heard that they conducted another round of layoffs just a few days ago. On the other hand, Walmart offers a more stable work environment, which can be crucial for career continuity and peace of mind.

better safe than sorry for 8 lacs. I had a 54 lacs offer from apna jobs at a LPM level. I preferred not to join and join as PM 2 at 42.5 in revenue positive firm. Considering you might have liabilities like homeloan etc, better be cautious, as these additional 8 lacs will come at unnecessary CEO presentation, blame game, 15 hrs in office daily etc with no clarity on next level etc. The Walmart sans 8 lacs will have 100 levels higher than where you are, safety net etc. Think through it. Also one needs time to prep for the ai developments, you dont want to slog 15 hrs in office not working on yourself and clueless after 1.5 years laid off all of a sudden

As a PM how did you switch?

As a PM what value you bring to the table?

POCKETFM is massively toxic. DO NOT GO THERE. My colleague returned after a month. Walmart is amazing. Best of luck

I’ve worked with one of the engineering leaders at PFM before — easily one of the most toxic and micro-managing individuals I’ve encountered. The overall culture at PFM is similar: toxic, unstable, and prone to frequent layoffs.

If you’re considering an offer, I’d recommend skipping it. Even if Walmart offers less money, the peace of mind and healthier work environment are worth it.
