Moving to Bay Area with Xilinx offer. What is minimum salary to expect ?

Have offer as base $180K and total comp as $240k. RSU is less as part of total comp, and I don't know if Xilinx gives more joining RSUs here. Also does xilinx match unvested RSU here ? Any suggestion in terms of total compensation at xilinx ?

YOE : 12 Years, Offer is for E7 level. I am asking for E8 level. :-)

Is this hw or sw? What's the role? RSU is usually fixed by level.

This is for software and for E7 level. Do xilinx match additional RSU for unvested RSU of person's current company ?

You can always use it as negotiation leverage. Sounds like an okay offer for E7. But you may want to push for E8 for your yoe

You’re definitely not buying a house on that salary without a serious down payment, but you won’t be broke.

Well if OP has 300 k cash he can afford a 1.25 million great house on the east bay

What are you smoking? That would be a $4500/month payment. You’re far better off getting a rent controlled 2 BR in Oakland/Berkeley/Richmond for half as much and banking $2-2.5K/month.

Op how long did it took you to get verbal offer? Does xillinx update their taleo portal after interview?

I didn't take offer as no change with provided offer.
