Qcom tc : 190k (base : 158, bonus+ rsu: 32), ~15 yr exp, asic in san diego, is this in par with market rate?

Is 190k tc, for a ~15 yr exp, sr.staff, qcom, san diego. I have a house and (just)working spouse(not in qc) and kid. Is it a good idea to look for jobs for better salary? Where Should I move to Austin or bay area for long term settlement. Scope of career growth is limited. As people up in hierarchy(principal and above) are not moving out(since 10+yrs). Most of execution is being moved to low cost centers. I see similar trend in other companies(nvda etc) also. What is best approach for career growth? Currently leading few engrs, but not a manager. Do other companies give lead opportunities for people from outside? Should I wait till I get manager or principal promotion or just move out right away?

That’s below market TC for Sr. Staff in QC San Diego. But in the current environment, you shouldn’t expect much growth. If you’re chasing a bigger paycheck, go elsewhere. But it’s hard to beat San Diego as a place to live.

Don't go, next layoff coming soon. You never know who will be impacted

Don’t leave if you can get severance. Volunteer for lay-off if possible
