Need help choosing an offer | New Grad

I currently have two offers and have a hard time making a choice. Qualcomm, San Diego, GPU Software, Base 100 Cisco, San Jose, Software, Base 125 - Given that I'm equally interested in both technologies(GPUs and computer networks), which one would be a better option in terms career growth, company work culture and location? The deadlines are fast approaching and any help would be greatly appreciated. Cisco TC = 125, Qualcomm = 137 (15k relocation + 22k RSU)

Why do you think so?

Agree San Diego is better and Qcom is better as a company. You will have better quality of life.

No happy people at Cisco. There are happy people at Qualcomm.

You will get 5% or so. Which Bu/team/org?

Qcom

The reasoning behind this would be insightful.

Better roadmap consodering future 5G potential. More scope of money. Overall a better company than Intel. In san diego, its the headquarters of Qcom, so better mobikity within the company if you dont like your team . Also compensation is better

For Cisco, ask for RSUs and sign on. All my friends were new grads 2 years ago and got 120k base + RSUs with 0 YoE.

I heard some people ask for relocation and they provide it, but don’t mention it until you ask

Intel NetGeek07 OP Apr 4, 2019

They're providing relocation(9k). They refused to give sign-on bonus and RSU

Cisco is full of incompetent and lazy devs, go to Qualcomm
