Thanks for the feedback.

Whats the title in all the companies? TC depends a lot on title in Broadcom Also which BU in broadcom, its an important factor for job stability

Intel gdf56 Oct 11, 2019

I have a question - why does Broadcom have so many Principal Engineers ? This kind of makes me feel title doesn’t matter

Marvell aisc Oct 12, 2019

Principal in Broadcom is staff in rest of companies i think. So thats why so many principals.

Broadcom Ltd. howzlife Oct 12, 2019

Broadcom Principal is actually Sr. Staff level in other companies...its Principal Engineer directly from Staff. After this we have Associate Technical Director ( ICB6, equivalent to Principal in other companies both in terms of leadership and pay ) and then Distinguished Engineer

Intel gdf56 Oct 13, 2019

I have seen Sr staff in Broadcom. Are you sure after Staff it’s Principal directly ?

Broadcom Ltd. gOvU58 Oct 13, 2019

ICB4=staff ICB5=principle There is no more Sr staff, that is the old broadcom level. Now it is all avago.
