Is it worth leaving your job at big Semi Company for a self driving startup for almost 15 pct drop in cash compensation. Level is L5 current TC is 350k, yoe 14 expected cash comp around 300k excluding stock. Didn't factor in stock as it has no value currently. SDC company is one of Cruise/Argo/Zoox. Thanks
I believe it’s worth trying out if u don’t see much difference in TC
Look who is talking abt Hock when Samsung is busy laying off gpu group!
How is the startup offering 300k? What’s the breakdown?
First yr 300k with sign on after that it is a 10 pct drop
Are you on any work visa? If yes, i would reconsider. But otherwise, I would do it just for the experience and possibility of making it big (if the startup is successful). Plus, the cash compensation is not that low with respect to your current TC.
No work visa issue yes it's not that low the difference
Yes, then I would try it out just to see what's different. Worst case if you don't like it there, you can come back / go to Apple now that they've acquired drive.ai
