He will have higher impact at google, the product itself doesn't matter

Both the offers are kind of final. Only possibility is on Joining Bonus, which i have asked them to bump up. waiting for the recruiter's reply

Does Nvidia asks for proof of counter offers ? I only have verbal offer, and some email exchanges with recruiter, without any numbers on it.

For HW role, definitely Nvidia.

Intel ArQC81 Mar 17, 2022

If it’s PD role go to Google .. Nvidia PD role is very restrictive Anything else go to Nvidia

Nvidia is better for the HW

Qualcomm fivegee-qc Mar 17, 2022

Nvidia RSU vest 25% for first year, for remaining years, it’s quarterly vesting NVDA doesn’t give yearly bonus so keep that in mind.

Google sundarhc Mar 17, 2022

But it has a great espp(2year look back)

Qualcomm fivegee-qc Mar 17, 2022

There is an IRS limit on how much you can put towards ESPP, so it won’t beat google bonus easily

Apple bHlW66 Mar 17, 2022

RSU of Nvidia can go upto 600k and sign on to 80k.

Google sundarhc Mar 17, 2022

Nvidia generally giving out good offers and not negotiating a lot and let candidates go instead of bidding.. my personal experience

Apple bHlW66 Mar 18, 2022

I agree.

NVIDIA gpudrinker Mar 17, 2022

Not sure about that

Google jvXh23 Mar 20, 2022

For hardware Nvidia is better than Google.
