Nvidia

RSU potential for nvidia is much greater than Cisco. Cisco is much more likely to be a coasting job though.

Thanks for the advice. I have studied these two stocks for some time, found Cisco is relatively stable and high dividends yield, compare to NVIDIA which has higher volatility( can both explosive and down ?)

By the time you join Nvidia the stock might go down another 30-50%. Take that into consideration.

But LOW TC compare to YOE

I’ve worked with Cisco products and support and hated it, so I wouldn’t join there. Nvidia seems like a better choice.
