Betrayed by Manager and Director
Last year I got an offer from XILINX and I resigned. My manager and director at Qualcomm promised me that I will have exponential growth in this team, great and challenging feature development work will be assigned and they will try to match compensation as par with XILINX offer in Annual Reviews. So I took resignation back believing in them. Currently here I am getting assigned with crap work, didn't even match with 75% of XILINX offer's TC, getting frustrated with work everyday. I raised concern with my manager many times that at least give me a good work(I already forgot about compensation), still he keeps on assigning the same sort of crap. I was 1 of 3 engineers including manager back then and got good understanding of the system I am working, now they recruited 3 more engineers and eventually new guys picked pace and doing well now. It seem they don't need to care about me know. On top of that COVID situation, unsure what will happen if I try to change companies as Qualcomm is pretty stable now and no layoffs nearer. Checked for internal switch and no matching positions for my bad. What is the status of these companies currently #NVIDIA #XILINX #INTEL, are they hiring? will theses be stable for next 1 or 2 years if I switch? #semiconductor #qualcomm #xilinx #nvidia #intel Yoe: 5 years TC: 25LPA
Chapter 101: YOU SHOULD NEVER ACCEPT THE RETURN OFFER FROM THE SAME COMPANY
Especially if you don’t have the specific match they are giving you in writing as a contract to sign.
Actually Chapter 0

Wow he took the counter offer. Rookie mistake, a hero never looks back at the explosion.
Exactly.
Dust off the resume and move on. Never take a counter offer—learn that lesson.
Most of tech is stable, sans Uber, Lyft, etc.
Just curious - why never take the counter offer?
Because you had already made the decision to move on.
It's because it tells management that you thought of leaving, and could do it again in the future. So they avoid investing too much into you
Tell you my story and then you will know the answer. I worked for my previous company over 10 years, the company started laying off people; I got an offer, TC was 3 times more. Worked for 6months and decided to come back and take the original TC. A year later, my company let me go. I personally have great connection with my boss but now my heart is still broken. I know he doesn’t even care. I do care.
Repeat after me: OP IS AN INSECURE IDIOT. Never take counter offers.
Only move forward, never look back.
Option 1: invest your energy in landing the next opportunity. Chalk it up to life experience. Option 2: waste energy mulling over current state. It will fester and manifest itself in terrible, unexpected ways. None of which are healthy for you. Option 3: realize it’s a 2way street and you have the power to make your bosses lives hell as well. Option 1 is the correct mature choice. Option 3 feels amazing, but has a fast follow of regret and other baggage.
🤣🤣🤣 this - “2way street and you have the power to make your bosses lives hell”
3 is more satisfying 🤣🤣🤣
