Hi, I got these offers and want to see what the Blind community think is the best. I keep the offer at TC level for some anonymity, after I accept one of the offers, will update with details: NVIDIA - ASIC engineer IC4 TC 283k - no annual bonus, but great ESPP that is not included here FB - ASIC engineer E4 TC 290k - annual bonus included Aeva.ai - ASIC engineer TC 299k - annual bonus included Zoox - SWE TC complicated due to Zoox options and valuation, but something around 280k average for 4 years - all items included Which one do you recommend? Edit1: YOE ~8, current TC peanuts #nvidia #facebook #aeva #zoox
Isn’t zoox Amazon now? Are they still giving out zoox options?
Yes it is. They give you AMZN RSUs vesting in the first 3 years, then Zoox options that vest over 6 years, but first liquidity at year 3. The vesting schedule is not symmetric either! Very complicated package!
Fuck Nvidia, horrible management and hours over productivity culture.
Which team or org are you in? I usually hear good WLB feedbacks for NVIDIA honestly!

Great espp can’t legally earn you more than 15 percent discount on 20k worth of stocks right?
Bare minimum is base*15%*15%. If stocks goes higher during the 24 month look back window, you make much more.
It’s like making a bit more than that bc of tax advantages of espp Uber, but yeah that’s basically right
espp at nvidia in the last 3 years have made a ton.
Yes true, but cannot really rely on it to repeat that performance, even though I think it really can.
Trust me you can rely on it.
Wow! That’s great tc for hardware position. I think nvidia is the better known out of the 4. Choose zoox if you want to join the software community.
It is more of a embedded software/firmware position. But still, I like anything around an embedded system, chip design, firmware, software.
Does your NVIDIA TC include signon bonus?
Yes, all offers include some sign on bonus. Highest from FB.
Aeva 4D Lidar sounds sexy from an EX Apple guy. Why not consider it ? Their stock just consolidated , might explode If they have good deals. Apple car rumour is always there too.
Definitely considered it. They have a bunch of public and private deals with car manufacturers, but the thing is, there are 10s of these Lidar companies in the market right now, all doing the same thing, exactly the same thing. I am just worried it is like gambling on one horse to win the race, when there are 100 horses in it.
Agreed. Popularity wise Luminar and microvision beats other lidars for now.
OP which one did you end up taking?
NVIDIA :) happy so far with my choice. Teams great.
How many YOE? And what’s ASIC?
Chip design
Update the post. ASIC is chip design.
