HW Engineer compensation in the Bay Area
I interviewed at Nuro recently for a Hardware role and got the reject call today. I gave 120k as my base salary expectation. Although I don't think the salary was the reason for my rejection, I want to make sure my ask is not too high. So what is the average base salary and TC for a Hardware role with 2-3 YOE in the big tech companies and unicorns?

It’s definitely not too high for tier 1 hw companies. Not sure about others

Nuro is struggling to monetize and build a truly mission critical stack... Try others for HW.

Our ME engineers make probably 160k + RSU

Do they use ATM machines to withdraw their RSU units?

120K is way too low, they did you a favor by rejecting you
In the bay area? Hardware eng? Yeah, you’re looking at 50-75k, chump. 120k is for 10 YOE and new grad software engineers only.
Hope that's a sarcastic comment!
That’s BS! You asked for way less in my opinion. Go higher. And yes salary doesn’t seem like the reason. If it was, then fuck Nuro!
