That is low for the role and YOE
Extremely low for the area idk about company. You can get that package for like lower SDE2 at Oath (this is the starting position for fresh grad PhD, but you can get it probably within year and half easily if entering as fresh master's) and oath is underpaying
Seems right for the level and company. Not saying he can't push for more and maybe higher level. But if he wants more money it might be easier to get it elsewhere.
Seems right for EDA company. HW TC sucks. BTW, what is Synopsys trying to do with ML?
Big plans...😀
ML is something, anybody just jumps in randomly nowadays
$190k base. $75k stock rsu annual for silicon valley
Convey my regards to your brother with friendly TC or GTFO norm.
