Can you please review the following compensation from Cisco RTP (Raleigh, NC). Is this good ? I am currently in Bay Area, and moving to NC. Base = 166K Cash Bonus = 15% of Base RSU = 90K/4 years Sign On Bonus = 30K YOE = 11.5 years Position : Senior Verification Engineer
Been in the area for 20 years... TC is decent and agree with above.
Thanks for the feedback folks.
One thing to keep in mind before you uproot your life in the bayarea and move to RTP just to join Cisco. Layoffs happens at Cisco twice a year now. Regardless of your performance you might lose your job just because the whole team/project got cut. Right now we are counting down days until October 7th since they will announce the layoff list on that day. They want to save $1 Billion from layoffs and now we are living in fear until the names are announced. Imagine living like that twice a year! They already laid off people on February this year. Honestly I will never move from Apple to Cisco.
Sounds like it’s a hardware verification position. Wouldn’t the start of Apple silicon products be better from opportunity point of view?
Sounds great. You'll be a king. Just leave your political ideals in California 😂
G11 or 10? $166k base in RTP is way at the top of the band you will be first on the LR list which isn’t performance based
I am too used to bay area life. Can never move away
You’d be surprised how many places are better than bay area from quality of life perspective
Probably true. Many folks have repeatedly told me that but I have been here 10 years including student time. My social circle is here. I'm used to weather here. Easy access to all things Indian. Can't fathom uprooting this and establish myself somewhere else socially and financially.
Are you serious ? Want to get laid off soon ? Whats your strategy. Not sure my friend be careful. Once you join cisco, first thing you will loose is peaceful life, second thing you should always be ready for getting laidoff. Ohh by the way if you are on H1B, I am sorry to tell you, your PERM will never move forward due to layoffs every day !!!
Cisco layoff a lot of people in bay area but RTP may not, you can try your luck, if they pay relocation expense, maybe you are right person they need, I believe you are not happy at Apple, but Cisco is another company generally not make people happy.

With 11.5 yoe, it is reasonable. You will be living like a king here in NC. Raleigh is a good place to live if you have a family of your own
