That's interesting, I figure all of Walmart Labs was located in San Bruno. Or was this a non-tech position? If the pay is comparable to San Bruno and you can tolerate living in... Arkansas... I bet that money would go pretty far

I work in Bentonville for Walmart Labs. Glassdoor salaries are probably accurate for Software Engineers if that’s what interests you. I grew up in the area so family is my primary driver in location at the moment. If you like a more rural setting with an interesting art/culture vibe it can be a fantastic place.

Based on the downvotes you're getting, I suspect there are plenty of HN'ers who would rather have a good life in Arkansas than tolerate living in San Bruno.

I live here (Rogers, AR), it's fine. May was rough though, with the crazy weather. The area is growing substantially. Heck, we're getting a Top Golf!
I love the low cost of living; coming from D.C. and its crazy housing situation, it's a breath of fresh air (figuratively and literally).

I'm from a similar area, I have a feeling you wouldn't consider it as nice if you were nonwhite, had a nonwhite SO, were LGBT, or got involved in the community outside the tech/corporate bubble (e.g. for kids). Or if you like more urban living. Or if you like more vibrant art/music communities. Or...
Of course some people like it and if they do there's a big COL disparity to take advantage of, but there are lots of reasons you might not want to live in a place like that.

how does it feel to exhibit the generalizing stereotyping of thousands of humans you claim to abhor?
