Hi guys, I am expecting an offer from qualcomm, power management team. I would like your opinion on the following: 1) what would be the potential offer and level? 2) how is QC doing? I have heard their reputation is much improved recently. 3) which campus is better SD or SJ? Current TC 100K (east coast) 8YOE+PhD
I haven't seen the SJ office, but SD is a better place to live and qcom is headquartered here
SJ will offer a bit more money (check levels.fyi - it doesn't make up for higher CoL IMO) but the office complex is tiny compared to San Diego. San Diego offers the best opportunities for growth and the best benefits (that Qualcomm has to offer, which isn't saying much these days - health insurance is still good though).
Go to SD .. life is good there !
Ok, so there is consensus on SD vs SJ debate. How about questions 1 and 2?

Great .. Apple won’t do modem .. it’s a circus there ..
You mean circus at Apple? I am not joining modem team though
Yes .. circus 🎪 at Apple .. since the ring masters have shut it down at intc and have moved to appl .. though they left a fatso clown at intc (aka Murthy) whom intc will probably kick out soon..
Qualcomm is doing well - it has a lot of patents and it’s squeezing those and using the royalties and there what keeps it running
