I am looking to get an idea of total comp of IC5 role in Software Engineering for Bay area. Recruiter is asking me to provide a number before moving further down to interview process so we both can save time. Current TC - 300K YOE - 13 Location - WA 100% Remote (got exception for remote even during all this RTO crap) Nvidia folks please help! #nvidia #nvidiacareers #nvidiasalary #softwareengineer #softwareengineersalary
Depends on org, levels.fyi has accurate data.
I started at NVIDIA in 2020 right before the pandemic. Prior to my time there, I was making $115k TC at a big banking company. When the NVIDIA HR reps asked me my expected starting salary, I said $145k base. They countered with $165k base and a shit ton of stock. I was dumbfounded. This was for an IC3 role btw.
I started around the same time at around the same base and same level. Just curious how much stocks did they provide you?
Old days everyone is saving money now. Don’t make this mistake OP
Ask for min 250k base. Nothing less. And ask for atleast 800k initial RSUs.
https://youtu.be/Y-mNcEctZQY say like this to avoid giving a number, actual data is around 450k for IC5 bay area
It should be b/w 450K - 500K.

Def try to go for IC6. 500k total comp is possible for sure. Base: 250-300k, rest RSUs. Nvidia doesn't do yearly cash bonus. But they'll be willing to give sign on bonus spread across 2 years.
