Posting for a friend:

My friend has 2 job offers and wants an expert opinion on which one to choose,
My friend's priorities:
1. Scope for constant learning and growth
2. Work-life balance
3. Interesting research/development oriented job

1. Intel, Hillsboro, OR:
Technology Development, Photolithography module, Process integration and yield engineer
Package: 124k base, 15k sign-on cash bonus, 50k sign-on stock bonus, 5.5k relocation, 4
quarterly + 1 yearly bonus

2. ASM America, Phoenix, AZ:
ALD division, Sr. Process Engineer
Package: 110k base, 20k sign-on cash, 10k relocation, yearly bonus

Please leave a comment on why you think Intel/ASM.

Thanks in advance!!

P.S.: 124k base pay in Hillsboro seems comparable to 110k base pay in Phoenix!

      OP
      My friend is a fresh grad. and they doesn't have Blind access. That's why I am helping them out. Why would I want to accept an Intel offer while I am already working at Intel? Getting it? @fb@

    Work life balance and semiconductor process engineering are incompatible. Also ASM offer seems low. No RSUs?

  • 125 base is good can ask for more though. I think for that level ASM can do RSU. Can try to ask for more RSU. But anyday Intel >>>> ASM. No wlb no culture, if you are prepared to just work without any respect ASM is the place. I know most of the semiconductor companies have insane work load which everyone should be prepared for in this industry but chose a company which atleast respects your work and the culture is good.

  • Surprising to see ASM mentioned here- I'm familiar with the ALD group in PHX, DM if you want to talk more and I'd be happy to discuss.
