Joining Qualcomm as Senior software engineer at Austin office with 5-6 years of experience. Base is 113k, sign on 20k and 25k worth of RSU. Is this a decent offer? HR was not willing to negotiate on any part of the package.
25k stock per year or for 4 years
25k worth Rsu vesting over a period of three years
what is your skillset and what types of work
Joining in a DevOps role
A little low on the base pay for a SSE in Austin. But don't know about Qualcomm
How come no one has given you a decent reply till now ? OP. Yeah this is a good offer considering it is for Austin. For comparision, new grads get $110base mowadays , but Sr Engineers with me who have been with this company for 5+ years are stuck at a base salary for $110-$115k in SOftware that too in San Diego So considering your base , it is very good for Austin. The RSU is almost same what new grads get. My roomate new grad got $20k RSUs last year. Sign on is decent. Overall decent offer if you have no counter offer.
you keep saying "for Austin". I work in Austin. SSE base pay here is around 140k add RSUs and bonus to that. Any company in the domain will pay that.
Thank you @dynasty001 . Planning to accept this offer. I have another onsite interview but that's only after 2 weeks, and this offer expires in 2 days :( So essentially no counteroffer
@bull . Qualcomm is not a top payer in any geography. I am saying for Qualcomm, in Austin, it is a very good offer, considering the fact the the qualcomm offer at San Diego is marginallu better but SD has a huge cost of living
Interview more and make the offers compete. Hard work upfront for short and long term reward.
how much are you currently making
My base pay is about 85k in Dallas at a medium size company. Good increase from my current pay but trying to see if it is a good offer in Qualcomm's standards.
