HR ask for salary expectations what should I reply?

Got an offer from Synopsys, hardware CAD team. Recruiter asks for salary expectation. How to maximize my chances of getting a great 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.

Why move to eda?

Apple iamshroud OP May 7, 2019

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

Apple iamshroud OP May 7, 2019

Bay area. Base range is like 120-130k. RSU 25k over 4yr

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

It can backfire...a friend of mine was ghosted by recruiter as he gave a too high number.

Google xaybzd May 7, 2019

That’s why I said don’t give a number. Tell them politely that you would like to see what their offer looks like.

Ask them directly what is the range of salary for this role.

Apple iamshroud OP May 7, 2019

120-130 they said

Apple toooooo May 8, 2019

What about TC?

Nvidia monolith May 7, 2019

Apple to Synopsys? Why? Because you are a contractor?

Apple iamshroud OP May 7, 2019

Cound not hold the pressure. What is your opinion on EDA? What companies would you prefer if you were me?

Nvidia monolith May 7, 2019

Depends. What is your profile now?
