Planning to switch from SW in EDA industry (c++, python, full-stack) to FAANG or other big-players (e.g. LinkedIn) in Bay Area. Could you please give an advice on compensation for the next bio? 1) 4.5 y.o.e. , Sr SWE now, lead 2 projects 2) PhD in CS + MSc in Comp.Eng. - 5y total Planning to ask TC in the range 250k-290k. Any advice on preparations except Leetcode for such a profile? Thanks for help
Current TC and location?
Mountain View, 180k TC. But no RSU, and this is the primary reason to leave industry. EDA and HW ( Intel, Nvidia) give none or small RSU in comparison to Faang.
$250k should be possible if you get L4. You can get $300+ if you get a L5 offer with competing offers
