Recently promoted SWE L5 at Google (ML perf). Just finished interviewing at AMD and NVIDIA. Expecting offers from both soon after speaking to recruiters but no offer in hand yet. What should I expect in terms of levels? TY! Or should I stay out at G for a couple years as newly promod L5? TC: 370k
Not sure about NVIDIA level - I’d assume with 11YOE you’re either IC4 or IC5? I think AMD has a lot of growth potential, but I’d expect they’ll pay absolute 🥜 vs Google/NVIDIA. Even with the growth potential, they’d have to come with an incredibly strong offer for me to consider them, personally.
Wait for the offers first
I don't think AMD stood a chance here in terms of TC, Nvidia may counter.
absolutely avoid AMD
Post promo is the best time to leave
Which team at Nvidia?
Can you go to Nvidia from Google? No non compete?
Non competes are not enforceable in CA
I would focus on the role potential growth opportunities in both cases with a 4 year exit plan.
Move asap. Ask for 600k
😂
Gg lowballed you for sure. I even made a lot more than you.
