Hi Folks, I'm holding offers from SSIR and SNPS. With respect to work/domain and compensation wise both are similar. Now I want make decision based on career growth, wlb and stability of the company. Your insights will be helpful to choose better path. Yoe: 6 TC: 34 Base (same in both) 16L/3yrs RSU in Synopsys vs 10L/2yrs joining bonus + 4L incentive bonus in Samsung. Thanks #hardware #interview #semiconductor #intel #qualcomm #synopsys #samsung #amd #nxp #westerndigital #nvidia
Can you share break up of the tc
Base includes emplyer pf in Synopsys but in samsung it is top of base, ultimately bonus component of companies making gross looks equal
SNPS has better wlb. Pick snps; wlb > all else
Hi, Can DM you?
Sure; but I left Synopsys a few years ago so idk if I’d be up to date. I was in EDA
Why not try other places ? This TC looks less for 6 YOE
Are you sure? askign for knowledge purposes. so plz don't mind it :)
Snps: good wlb, ESPP option. which group?
Synopsys Solution group. How is this group doing? What about job safety in Synopsys? I didn't hear layoffs in Samsung (at least as per my knowledge)
layoff : As far as i know, edag & sdg
What's the role? Samsung is better.
Staff Engineer in both companies, work wise both are looks same. SoC integration in Samsung and Subsystem Integration in Synopsys. Can you please mention reason for Samsung over Synopsys, just for knowledge asking. Don't mind
Synopsys anyday. Samsung work culture is too bad. Solutions group is one of the most stable group of Synopsys. Especially in India, i have not heard of any layoff. Also for 6 yoe, 34L base is very good. Atleast in semiconductor domain.
Thank you for your response. Any idea on RSU refreshment and Annual hike% in Synopsys?
Don't expect any annual RSU refreshers at 6 yoe unless you come out to be an exceptional performer. Annual hike .. no idea at this level, but i guess it should be atleast 10%. But as your base is already on higher side, you may not get that much.. but a bit lesser.
@onid, okay got it. Thanks for the info.
20k RSU for 6 yoe... isn't this too low?
Yeah, I'm trying to negotiate for Joining Bonus Or raise in RSU. How much I can expect if it is RSU
my friend with 4 yoe got 20k at synopsys you got ssir first and then snps offer?
Yes, SSIR was first. SSIR compensated my unvested stocks as Joining Bonus and then Synopsys changed JB to RSU with some increase 😐
Tc of both?
Updated 16L is RSU in Synopsys and In samsung 10 JB and 4 Incentive Bonus
