If you want them to say a number first, ask what the potential salary range is for the role. That should give you a sense of if you're thinking in the same general magnitude for direct compensation.

Don't do this, they will only pigeon hole you. Come up with a number you think is reasonable and then add to that and then tell them that new number(s).

In California they are required to give you a range for the position. Asking for a range is a good idea

OP, what is your IC level and TC at brcm? Any reason why you wanna leave? I am also curious what apple could offer.

Broadcom Ltd. nWfG70 OP Feb 7, 2020

Not in a nice team in brdcm. Tc is at 300k/yr.

This is standard procedure.

Ask for whatever you feel is just slightly "too much".

450k

Are they offering you ic5 with phd+6 yoe? That's unheard of! Great job. With ic4, I guess your comp at broadcom must be atleast 300k, you should aim for atleast 350k if ic4.

Don’t know yet. I will update here once I know. Yes tc at brdcm is 300k. Exactly aiming for 350+ at 4th quadrant ic4.

How did you work around this problem? i am in a similar boat right now with both Apple and another company. One recruiter asked expectations on the phone, I was able to steer the discussion to not give a number. The other one sent me a table in an email to fill out with all details of expectations for the package. What do you do in these situations?

Broadcom Ltd. nWfG70 OP Mar 3, 2020

They put me in a limbo for a month until i gave some numbers. Then they gave me offer.

That is slow. What is the offer? Better than brcm?

OP, can you share your offer?
