I just received an offer from Synopsys/cadence to join as principal application engineer and wanted to get some idea on what are my options to grow from here if I happen to take the offer.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
Also moving on from AE role you can move later to Sales, Product Marketing or Program Management if you prefer/want.
What did you do at Intel?
I provide support to the projects with presilicon BE/FE internal/EDA vendor tools
Not stable anymore yearly layoffs at Synopsys.
This year they had 3 major layoffs. Few years back ppl used to retire from Synopsys but now it is seems like startup with bad business model ๐
Ohh didnt know that. Do you know what groups Synopsis laid off from and were they AEs?
I know some ae in vg had been laid off few months ago
Even layoffs happening at Intel too - like they take out non performing candidates
Growth depends on number of factors- ability to understand multiple tools/cad flows faster, ability to win customer evaluations, communication/presentation skills, scripting to automate certain regression testing flows etc. If you think you have the above qualities you can get rapid growth in responsibilities and salary in Cadence/Synopsis AE role.
thanks....looks like I will have to gain some expertise on few skills :)
