Samsung vs Intel offer evaluation
Hi, I have a offers from Samsung and Intel and was wondering if compensation is fair and is there any scope of revisions. Location : Bangalore, India Current TC : 13.5LPA YOE: 1.5 Samsung Base : 18.7lpa Annual bonus + performance incentive : 2.6 lpa Joining bonus : 8lpa TC : 29.3 lpa Intel Base : 18lpa APB+QPB : 1.7 lpa RSU : $10k 3 yrs Joining bonus : 4.5 lpa TC : 27lpa Thanks everyone. Finally joined Intel. I feel Intel could go higher but not sure if its okay. #hardware #semiconductor #interview
Intel
3+ years experience and my base at Google is 19lpa. I was lowballed like anything. Congrats for these offers.
Intel is a slightly better choice, considering the upper management in Samsung is known to be slightly racist towards Indians (2 of my friends confirmed). Also Intel is a good starting point for a semiconductor career. You can explore a bit without having huge pressure on your shoulders.
What is your position?
Intel - formal verification Samsung - RTL Design Integration
Am sure, Intel will match up the Samsung offer and will give 30 LPA. It's really a great time to join Intel. I won't recommend to join Samsung. 1. Most of user manual in Korean 2. No WFH policy 3. No laptop to employees 4. Treated like labours on time entry/exit
Agree on all of the points listed by you. Can you explain what do you mean by “it’s really great time to join Intel”. Is there something interesting after Pat took over as CEO?
1. True 2. Not really, we were WFH throughout the pandemic, though we’re anticipating a hybrid 2day wfh/3day office starting next year. 3. Not true, we do get laptops, and you can personally request for the best spec laptop. 4. Not true, it’s team dependent. My WLB is fantastic.
Position?
What is that in USD? Just curious
Go Intel
Considering your YoE both companies are offering good base salary. Intel’s RSU grant is standard, so can’t negotiate there. You can negotiate on joining bonus + relocation etc, Intel should increase it. Go for Intel rather than Samsung for better work culture.
Are you BTech or Mtech?
BTech
The offer for Intel looks quite good
