Got an offer from Qualcomm , Bay area Sr. Eng role Base : 123k Bonus : 10% RSU : 60k/3 Joining : 22k Is this good for masters + 6 yrs of exp ?
I would say it’s very low ball for Bay Area!! Push them for 140K base . Else ask them for more RSUs. There is huge attrition waiting to happen here. Salary increase is very tough to get in Qualcomm. You may stuck with the same salary for couple of years.
I dont think you can get 140k base with senior engineer positon. It would go beyond the limit for the designation..
I wish QUALCOMM increases base limit for every designation .123k is absurd. Fresh grad at amazon Bay Area is getting close to this as base.
6 experience in US? If so , super lowballed on base pay. Even 3 YOE are getting $130k base from Qualcomm , Bay area
Very lowball.
Thanks for the feedback . Definitely pushing for more. Btw this is the Bluetooth team . Any feedback about the team?
Lowball
Seems a bit low. What’s your current level? I think you should ask for Staff.
Very low
Bay Area is a lot more expensive than SD (where QCOM is HQ'd). You're getting screwed over big-time in typical Qualcomm fashion. Ask for a base minimum 140k. Signing bonus minimum 20-25k.
I thought in Bay area they also give a retention bonus for second year. So something like 30k year 1, and 20k year year 2.
Too low
Good is relative to your other options (including your current job). What are they?
