Is it true that semiconductor industries like KLA-tencor, LAm research or Applied material does not pay offer good package? I am thinking to leave apple and try out this industry but not sure if the will offer it or not. I have 7+years consumer electronics experience as NPI PM. TC 220K #semiconductor #compensation
Why leave 🍎
Closer to my home.
Are you nuts?
For what?
For considering those companies when you’re at Apple. Search old Blind threads and you will see…
Depending on what you want out of your career: tc? wlb? learning? culture? level advancement? wanting to go back to your PhD research topic? Or just wanting to be in the semiconductor industry? I advice against these companies. Going upstream in the supply chain generally means seeing less end-product knowledge, and being pushed harder by customers.
For experienced guys, the salary increased a lot during recent years. They do lack good people and industry in good shape. My total compensation >400k after 10 years, and was 150k around 4 years ago.
What is your role?
this is the highest tc i have ever come across at applied! 400k thats really good man
Dont join ! Learn python/ML/AI and go to SWE
Is it true that they have higher base pay? Close to $200K for staff supply chain PM?
I think staff can not be close to 200k, but Sr Staff will exceed 200k
How much is b3 PM role salary?
If it's tc/wlb you're after, it's not great. But if it's very complicated problems that you're trying to solve, then KLA lam for sure.
Seriously? Don’t even look at Semi cap companies
They definitely don’t pay as much as Apple. Let me know if you want a referral to Google, they’ll beat that TC for NPI TPM/OPM
