I am Sr. Engineer with Ph.D. and roughly 2 years of experience in core modem group of Qualcomm. I’ve started making a move and have scheduled interviews with Google (RF engineer) and Samsung Research(SMI WiFi group). Location: east coast and Current TC is ~200k ( 153K base + 35k RSU refresher + 15k bonus) Yesterday, the recruiter ask me my salary expectations and I couldn’t think of my numbers. If I make a move, how much increase is worth to make a move, say in bay area. I am targeting wireless systems engineer or RF engineer positions in below companies Apple, Meta, Nvidia (dream company) and Amazon Lab126

First set your level expectation based on your yoe for each company, then do your research on levels.fyi, that you’d have a ball park range for your next move. Never be the 1st person to give the numbers. P.s. Op’s format should be made the template of blind posts. Lol
Thanks for your advice!!
