Offer evaluation Cadence vs Intel
Fresh phd SWE in hardware field Current TC: 36k🙃 Is Intel good to go?
My friends in cadence are generally happier somehow. Also California still have more opportunities if you want to switch in a few years
It's not a design company, that's why. Only few teams work on end to end projects.
What does cadence do ?
They make the software that chipmakers use.
Go to Cali!! The land of opportunity.
If you're working on internal Intel software, do not come. If it's external software (customer-facing) it should be fine.
take the higher base
Wouldn't reccomend intel, there's no job security here. They cut down bonuses when they please, no promos, raises etc. The situation is grim. Also while col is higher in cali it has way more opportunities. I agree with above poster to take the higher base in this environment. Btw intel is also cutting down base pay these days.
Look for better work and team in initial years
15k more base in CA is basically gone in cost of living so you can choose based on location you prefer, CA has more job opportunities for the future
Surprised intel giving offers, we still doing layoffs
Take into account where you want to live. Also I think the COLA is higher in that part of Cali compared to Oregon
