Why is intel pay so low.

Is it for all levels, my co-worker told me that our manager base is 130k and some stocks. Could this be true.

Back in the day when I worked there everyone got stock options. That was in the times before it hit $75

The fabs used be a competitive advantage and now they are a millstone weighing the company down. BK was an old school TMG choice. They should have picked Dadi Perlmutter and spun off the fabs.

When I interviewed there, the hiring manager mentioned that the 'tier 1 talent is unjustifiably expensive and not worth it.' I worked there for a few years while improving my CS skills. And man can I tell you how shit Intel software generally is. At this point the inertia means it's not worth hiring the best - you'd have to strip down entire teams and rewrite whole codebases. TLDR: a culture of crap software means more expensive talent is not easy to leverage, so why try.

At least they recognize it and go after talent they can afford. One of the worse things I hear is from hiring managers looking for the best, but are not willing to pay the best. Waste of time.

Ask your execs how they were losing over a Billion dollars every quarter just to stay afloat in Mobile Modem market, that Intel managed to get Apple using shady tactics and stealing Qualcomm’s IP. You are basically throwing money away at Mobile just because some guys at the top want to feel ballsy
