Would you like to share your background? Education + Exp? I am really interested in this role (may be for other companies) as well.

Base looks good. There is room to negotiate on Sign-on for sure. RSUs can go higher if you push them and interview feedback was strong

Was this before or after yesterday's stock market route?

No I don't

Try to negotiate on the RSU looking at the current prices.

Will do..thanks

Not a bad offer but given your YOE, the base feels low to me.

Nvidia Rthdd Oct 28, 2018

My base is 160k with 30 YOE, IC4.

Nvidia luckygal Oct 29, 2018

Seriously? I'm IC3 with 1 YOE and my base is similar to yours!

Nvidia Rthdd Oct 28, 2018

There is no work/life balance in NVIDIA. Only work, a lot of work, and no personal life. You are assumed to be able to do your work with the speed of light, though it is not achievable. You will overwork, burn out and then get punished for low performance.

What’s your BU?

Nvidia sickmyduck Oct 29, 2018

Not sure as it wasn't mentioned anywhere..

Nvidia qwerk Oct 30, 2018

You can ask the recruiter. If it’s IC4 this is on the high end for base.
