Just wanted to get ideas of Firmware engineer TC as of today in the USA across various cities for a reference / comparison purpose. It looks like not many posts on firmware so let's see if this gets some traction. #tech #semi #hardware #semiconductor

      Always had the impression (& input from peers) that at bigger companies people are so siloed that there is minimal crossover. So it's interesting to hear about this.

      Would you be open to a DM?

    Why don't you move to software?
    A new grad makes more than that

      OP
      Yep I agree and it's under consideration but I do like working in firmware. I did work in software number of years ago. Be aware cost of living is lower in here and WLB is one of the best.

      WLB is also good in some companies in Bay Area. Fresh grad software engineer can make 200k here and for 9 yoe, TC is mostly >500k. Even after high cost loving and tax, they still get tons of money.
