Interested in seeing level vs comp breakdown, tc break down for research scientists in semiconductors e.g. kla, amat, Lam mainly hardware, not software. #hardware #semiconductor

I am not sure if research scientist role matters as much. Comp is more grade dependent from what I have seen.
My teammate got hired after a post-doc, they gave him the Senior Software Engineer level. Check levels.fyi for TC breakdown at that level.

Thought lam paid better TC
I've compared around a decent amount and I think I'm fairly middle of the pack. What lvl and TC are you? I'm strongly considering jumping ship.
You haven’t posted degree and YOE. Let me make some assumptions: for fresh PhD or for MS+3YOE: ballpark comp=120k+10-15k bonus + 10-30k RSU. For PhD + 5 YOE (Staff level) 150-170k + 20k + 20-30k RSU. These are reasonably accurate for HW positions in semiconductor. HW positions in FAANG pay substantially more. For those add 10-20% to base and 30-50% higher RSU than that I quoted.
Data points I have coincide reasonably well with this.
This sounds like SWE new grad roles at FAANG.
It’s peanut money at KLA. If you are young, smart and have time, prep and jump ship.

OP: you ask people for their comps, yet to fail to mention yours. When asked about it, you say something stupid like xxx bananas. Do you see a problem here?

Read how TC works 🤣 It’s based on per yr. Need to divide your RSU/3yrs
That's right already done
post your TC first 🤦🏻♂️
