Samsung GPU team in bay area. Base: 170K Bonus: 20% Sign on: 50K Relocation: 55K Multiyear retention bonus to compensate for unvested RSU How is the offer? Should I switch? Current TC: 210K (non-bay) Yoe: 4.5
What is your current role in Apple?
Offer looks good. Currently people with 10 year experience get this pay in Samsung
How much is the retention bonus
There is lot of attrition to US companies and new people are not joining. So they have stretched themselves to offer you high TC
Which team are you joining?
Can’t disclose as narrow field
Korean management can't sustain this high talent cost. They have started the Bangalore team to offset this high cost in US. There plan is to mostly have the Architecture team in US and move the design, PD and other teams to Bangalore.
Oh okay
Huh? The offer is not even that much higher than where you currently are. I'm lost. You'd leave APPLE for Samsung? Lol....well, I will say that the only positive about working for Samsung is that it's not that high pressure...pretty decent pay for low stress and good work life balance
Yes, WLB is better in our GPU team compared to Apple
Avoid Samsung. Dead end. Samsung GPU team closing down next year.
They have a new joint project with AMD that is supposed to tape out a chip in 2023.
Not much increase in salary year to year, no refreshers, no RSUs as Samsung doesn’t trade in Nasdaq. Pretty much just the pay and bonus. So you will see a dip after the first year, if you like the team and work and not worried much about TC, then fine
He said he is gett8ng retention bonus. @OP what is your retention bonus?
