#Cadence offer evaluation

Got an offer from Cadence tensilica hardware design, want you good folks to review if it is good. Location: Austin Base: 160k Bonus: 10% Joining Bonus: 20k RSU: 110k over 4 years (25% each year) YOE: 5 years I am losing RSUs in my previous company (policy of directly 100% vesting in 4 years with 2 years to spare), but cadence said they can't do anything about it and this is the best they could do and would not offer if I don't accept this verbal offer. Am I being lowballed? #hardware #cadence

Is this USA, damn that is some low ass salary. SWE making 400k+ meanwhile HW folks like us picking up pennies on the streets

That has always been the story my man, worldwide.

Also I don't know if you are from US or not, but the salary depends on the state you are living in. This is for Texas and not bay area where 400k+ is fairly common.
