I have been with TI about 7 years in the field. I know there are geographical compensations between 5-10% depending on where you live, but I recently found out one of my colleagues base pay is 30% above mine (I verified this with them) and we have the same YOE. I asked for a raise and got 5% which was a slap in the face to me, but honestly very upset that someone with the same YOE has 30% higher than me when yearly we are both "up and to the right" and I feel I put in so much extra work. Maybe it is the account package/industry difference? Hoping someone could share some feedback on salary for those in the field. YOE: 7 TC: 99k #texasinstrumentscompensation #semiconductor #texasinstrumentssalary #texasinstruments
I can understand what u say perfectly, it seems.it is time to move to diffrent company, 7 years of.field experience is good experience and you can easily get job at the place u wish, I heard apple , Amazon, meta, gives really a good compensation for hardware engineering, I have seen many field application engineering switch there , I think there is no point in negotiating with ti
I don’t want to relocate and I like the job itself. But yeah makes sense
Wow 30% is a huge difference. I would feel upset as well. Did you do raise through your manager? Was your peer factoring in other perks like stock, commission, etc?
Gotta move when it gets like that
Probably your colleague is more like-able by the upper management and hence might have gotten a job grade upgrade. Also if TI knows you won’t leave easily, then there is no reason for them to give you higher pay. Also 99k seems ridiculously low no matter where you are for 7 YoE
What office are you working out of? My NCG FAE offer put me significantly higher than that w/o a COL raise. Now at less than 5yrs exp I’m over 180k TC. If you want a significant raise from TI, you need a comp offer.
If you came into TI through the NCG route, don’t expect huge jumps in base/bonus. If you come in as an external hire, you come in at a much higher TC than your peers (know from my personal experience).
That is unfortunate.
Actually it’s pretty common practice. Any time external hires join a company, they are benchmarked with the market rate which is typically more than tenured employees in that company. I however do miss TI’s 20% profit sharing but not the RSU grant and it’s 4 year vesting plan!
