I just received an offer from Synopsys/cadence to join as principal application engineer and wanted to get some idea on what are my options to grow from here if I happen to take the offer.
Also moving on from AE role you can move later to Sales, Product Marketing or Program Management if you prefer/want.
What did you do at Intel?
I provide support to the projects with presilicon BE/FE internal/EDA vendor tools
Not stable anymore yearly layoffs at Synopsys.
This year they had 3 major layoffs. Few years back ppl used to retire from Synopsys but now it is seems like startup with bad business model π
Ohh didnt know that. Do you know what groups Synopsis laid off from and were they AEs?
I know some ae in vg had been laid off few months ago
Even layoffs happening at Intel too - like they take out non performing candidates

Growth depends on number of factors- ability to understand multiple tools/cad flows faster, ability to win customer evaluations, communication/presentation skills, scripting to automate certain regression testing flows etc. If you think you have the above qualities you can get rapid growth in responsibilities and salary in Cadence/Synopsis AE role.
thanks....looks like I will have to gain some expertise on few skills :)
