Got an offer from Synopsys, hardware CAD team. Recruiter asks for salary expectation. How to maximize my chances of getting a great offer?
Why move to eda?
Joined Apple after school. Was offered less than 90k back then. Seeking a switch.
What state is it based in? Ask them the range, it’s now requisites for employers to provide a pay scale “upon reasonable request” in California.
good info though it may be hardly useful in practice. in my experience, 7 out of 10 recruiters lied to me in my face. they can easily fool you with a number that you have no way to prove or disapprove at the point you negotiate
Bay area. Base range is like 120-130k. RSU 25k over 4yr
What are your salary expectations?
why leaving apple for synopsys
Burned out after these years, need some sleep.
Reply with your salary expectations ;)
DO NOT reply. There’s a chance you will low-ball yourself. If you do reply, give a number that’s at least +50k more than your acceptable number
Ask them directly what is the range of salary for this role.
Apple to Synopsys? Why? Because you are a contractor?
I really liked this article https://haseebq.com/my-ten-rules-for-negotiating-a-job-offer/
YOE? Reagrdless ask for 160-190k
3+ yr. Does job title limit TC you can get? I heard HR cannot do much within a job grade.
