Intel job offer negotiation

Asking for a friend Fresh computer engineering PhD grad 3 internship experience (10 months total) Actively interviewing at other companies. Verbal offers from AMD and ARM. Got two initial offers from Intel Offer 1: Simulation infrastructure engineer (hillsboro) Grade 6 Base: $110K Annual bonus: $3K Quarterly bonus: 7% Sign on bonus: $10K RSU: $30K / 3 years Offer 2: Performance engineer (Austin) Grade 6 Base: $115K Annual Bonus: $4K Quarterly bonus: 6% Sign on bonus : None RSU: $30K / 3 years Questions: 1) Does Intel offer grade 7 for fresh PhDs ? 2) Both the offers seem quite low for a new grad PhD. Is there room for negotiation? Thanks for your inputs #tech #intel #negotiateoffer #negotiation

Run away from intel

I’m hearing some new Grade 5’s in intel getting 105k. I’d say you can try for 120-125k base ! But by intel standards, what you were offered is fair though.

Is the $105k in Bay Area. I highly doubt grade 5 Er in OR getting that high

Low ball offer. Grade 7 is the entry grade for PhD. Grade 3 is for Bachelors’ and Grade 5 is for Masters’.

Not correct PhD is g6 atleast in India

Intel byebyeor Nov 23, 2020

India is a totally different geo, this is specific to the US. The number and quality of PhD grads vary widely in India, so I get it if the entry grade is just 6 there. As a matter of fact, even promotions are slow to come by in India compared to the US.

Offer 1 looks good if no other offers.

Intel IMeY12 Nov 22, 2020

What the fuck man(or woman)? Every fresh PhD we hire in TD aka Fab 🐵 is g7 by default with base pay around 120k. I'd have expected a CS PhD to start at g8!

Intel wat to do Nov 22, 2020

Lowball offer. PhD start at G7..

Since they say grade 6 watch out for shitty relo if you have a house. If you killed it on the interview just push them on the RSU’s at least. I’m not sure which segment your looking at but if it’s server I’d aim for going DPG ( business unit with all the $$$) or architecture ( especially since your a PHD )

Intel ptXR05 Nov 23, 2020

Ask for bump in the grade. PhD starts at grade 7. Annual and quarterly bonus is based on how well Intel did and department you are in. It will vary by the year. Not sure how they can promise you this %. Maybe they took an average from the past few years 🤔 You might want to ask recruiter.

Lol, that is even less that what Apple pays for new colledge grad (ICT2). Intel really needs to bump up its pay if it wants to remain competitive
