Which one would u pick? Got two offers. Both asic test engineer positions Yoe 14 AMD Location Austin tx Mts level Base 110k Sign on 10k Bonus potentially 10 percent No RSU Product: cpu CISCO Location milpitas ca Grade 10 Base 145k Sign on 15k in Bonus potentially 15 percent With RSU Product: asic that goes into their routers and switches
If you consider pay that 110 in Austin would go a long way vs 145 in CA
I agree. If you’re ok with both locations you might have a better life in Austin with 110k than 145k (borderline working poor) in the Bay Area.
I agree too. Go to Austin
For ASIC test, amd. For anything related to networks, Cisco
AMD as you are in asic domain
The pay is much much better in Texas... The cost of living should be much lower...
This seems more like a SDE than an MTS. MTS target bonus is 15% and usually company pays a fraction of that. New grad PhDs are getting this in AMD as SDE. If this is actually MTS ask for 120k at least.
Yep, I agree with your assesment. MTS should be higher than 110k.
at MTS level you can definitely negotiate some RSUs... Also MTS target is 15 percent. Not sure why its 10 for you... Base pay seems low
Bonus at Cisco is 99% guaranteed
That is nice! AMD even having the best year since 2000 is funding just .86 of the target for this year. I don’t what we need to do to get 1. Guess I can’t complain much since this is the highest I ever got.
For Fiscal 2019, Cisco’s bonus paid out at .72. So nothing is guaranteed.
How much does Amd pay if the location was Sunnyvale
AMD comp should be better than Cisco
Your AMD offer is weak even at MTS level. Base, bonus, RSU are all low. Also MTS level is low for 14YOE
Cisco hands down.
Can u elaborate?
