Hi, Need help with evaluating offers from Cisco and Broadcom in terms of grade level mapping and compensation. Offers as below: Cisco: G11, Base 230K, RSU 300K Broadcom: ICB5, Base 225K, RSU 320K Current scenario at Intel: YoE: 12 years TC: 380K at G9 #bayarea #hardware #cisco #broadcom #intel
Do you have a PhD? How long have you been at G9? TC looks unchanged, why do you consider jumping ship?
Congrats, I heard Broadcom has good refresh. Cisco which bu? Avoid Cisco due to layoffs and bad management/politics esp in legacy bu.
Dude is coming from Intel. Cisco is almost an upgrade in terms of bad management/politics. I worked for 2/3 of these companies, and was friends with VPs at all 3.
Which Bu in Cisco is the money maker? I see lot of asic openings
I have never seen such base for ic5 are you adding base + bonus?
I mean Intel was a great company but it is really in a sorry state so many of us in college used to dream to be part of Intel and now we don’t know if it will ever get back the market share ..Broadcom on the contrary is the worst culture ever …i am sorry to say out of the options and offers Cisco seems a No brainer to join but as someone said make sure you are not joining Webex or some Legacy BU at Cisco although this offer doesn’t seem to be from a legacy BU .
Lol Broadcom is fine, what are you even talking about?
Fine with regards to compensation, how about work culture? If you like that kind of culture then may you are also part of the problem.
Broadcom offers yearly RSU refreshers so in 4 years those 320K in RSU will be part of your yearly salary. Probably more because of stock appreciation. Bonus is at 30% for IC5 BTW that base is IC6 territory
rsu yearly refresh about 300+ shares for icb5 at Broadcom. Just FYI. Maybe you can ask Cisco how much yearly refresher is.
Consider the potential for stock appreciation in the next 10 years for each company. Broadcom pushes its stock value up through acquisitions. In the last five years cisco stock went up 12% but Broadcom jumped 152%.
Ip can you clarify your ICB5 base at Broadcom? Is that base or base plus bonus that you e mentioned as 225k?
