Principal Engineer - Western Digital
Got an offer for the Principal Engineer role from WD. Base: $150k RSU: $60k Sign on: $40k No relocation. Is this reasonable? They said they can’t provide any relocation assistance due to the market conditions and this is their final offer. YOE: 8y #westerndigital #semiconductor
Is it HCOL? Seems pretty low for the title..
What’s up with the username bro
Is this india or us seems pretty low for us
This is low for the principal position, base can go up to 160k-170k. If you need to moved to Bay Area, not worth it.
Principals engineer in WD is list staff or senior staff in other orgs
It could be Rochester, MN. I don’t know how COL compares there though.
This is my Qcom salary as a senior eng. 6yr experience
Location? Too low for principle title
WD PhD new grad is staff if I remember right
if this is in Irvine, that’s pretty standard, I got offer from maxlinear and nxp for similar number, Broadcom offer is far more attractive if base in Irvine, 20%+, By the way I am 9yoe
Base seems a little low
Is WD paying so much now? For which division? I know some friends working there, say principal engineer base 120-155k only. 150k for 8 yoe is very high. Many folks there with 8 yoe only get paid with 120 -135 k base.
Location? This doesn't look good for anywhere in USA..
