Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

Resources to reboot your career if you get laid off from Walmart and promote yourself to customer

Grad school is your chance to rebrand and get a second chance. Don't be like the many others I've seen and stupidly enroll in any mba course they find. Avoid places that are diploma mills like University of the Phoenix. You only have one chance to rebrand so thoroughly research what I am saying and think things through before you choose anything.

  1. https://old.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/ software engineers are in high demand right now due to tech bubble 2.0. If you have a bachelors degree from a no name state school in computer science, coding bootcamp under your belt, 3.0-3.5 gpa, and 3 internships, you actually stand a decent chance of getting a six figure job right out of undergrad in the west and east coast tech hubs.

  2. Yes even you too can become the Walmart vice president that you formally hated with a consulting and finance background. YES YOU! Some helpful resources for tier 1 management consulting careers: https://managementconsulted.com/, https://www.caseinterview.com/

  3. Big 4 accounting is a solid path into the upper middle class it's definitely looked down upon in comparison to computer science, tier 1 consulting, and ibanking though. Big 4 consulting is considered tier 2 and tier 3 in comparison to Mckinsey, BCG, Bain, etc. Big 4 accounting is definitely the most stable career path though.

  4. Ibanking and quantitative trading is highly competitive more so than even consulting, big 4 accounting, and computer science. They mostly want the stereotypical ivy league legacy wasp type for ibanking, but I've seen people land roles through extreme networking and perseverance for ibanking, quantitative trading seems a little less pedigree based and more meritocratic.

or consider online programs from places like General Assembly, Udemy, Udacity, Coursera

or certificate (or degree) programs at your local, accredited college

or online programs from accredited colleges

or even trade schools

Seriously, don’t settle for retail.

If you have been layed off and your facility has laid off 150 people or more you qualify for assistance from the department of labor go to doleta.gov for information. This only after you have drawn your unemployment and you pay that were promised when you layed off remember you as a American citizen have programs available to you.

Not spam at all I just wanted to show people a better path in life I have nothing to do with those websites I Just wanted to help. Some people think at walmart that the best they can do in life in assistant manager, co manager, or store manager. I have nothing to do with those websites but I have researched all of those career paths. If you follow those paths you can make it a lot farther at Walmart or any other company Big 4 accounting=CFO, computer science=San Bruno Campus, Ibanking or Consulting=C-Suite.
