Intel security researcher (Ph.D) compensation range

Hi, I just heard good new regarding my interviews with Intel and I assume that it's time to think about compensation. Unfortunately, I am a tenured associate professor and I don't know for now about their composation philosophy. I got some intel (lol easy) by reading related offer reviews from this company but I did not find anything close to my situation and experience. YOE : 9 (including 3 years of PhD on Intel topics) - grade : could I ask for g7 ? - RSUs ? and vesting time ? - Can I hope for refreshers ? - Bonus range ? Thank you guys for your advices #security #intel #compensation #

You will be grade 7. If you had some good industry xp, you could have even gotten 8. On compensation; intel bumped their TC for new hires more than %25 in 2021, Pat effect. So I know that you'll get better TC than the folks already there. Dont let them lawball you by referencing old TC numbers. Find up to date info from Blind and ask %10-20 more of that.

Thanks for the advice. I don't know Pat yet but I'm already loving him for sure :). I have to calibrate the range regarding the position. That's going to be the hardest part since from what I know were are less than 30 staffed on this position at company scale... cheers

Hi, Just to give you some feedback. I rocked the interviews and asked for g8 to get g8. TC is great for france countryside : 120 k euros oh my god this is 3 times french average engineer salary. Cheers
