Texas Instruments Offer Eval and Negotiation Help
Hey Blinders, I have an offer from TI and the numbers are bad (in my opinion). I wanted to ask for other people's opinions and some negotiation advice. I have given most of what can be relevant for the negotiation below. Base: 91k Joining: 11.5k (5k joining + 6.5k relocation) Variable profit sharing up to 20% of base Location: Dallas Role: Analog Design (return offer from Intern) Experience: 0 + 3 months intern (India) + 3 months intern (US) MS + BTech Negotiation material accrued so far: 1) I am currently waiting on a decision with Microsoft for Physical Design role in Raleigh, NC 2) I had received an offer from TI after my last internship with them in India (2018, and of course Indian inflation is at 7%). Numbers were like below in 2018 converted to USD price of today Base: 17k Joining: 5.8k (4.8k joining + 1k relocation) Variable profit sharing up to 20% of base Location: Bangalore Role: Analog Design (return offer from intern) #hardware #semiconductor #offer #negotiation #lowball #lowballed #texasinstruments #ti #dallas
Don't go physical design in MS. It pays nuts and the job itself is not interesting. Try apple and keep trying Apple after you get in TI.
Hey, thanks for the heads up. I am trying with other companies like apple and nvidia. However, my long term plan in the industry is to switch fields to maybe software or atleast some branch of hardware which doesn't pay peanuts and yet gives the worst WLB. So for that, isn't microsoft better than TI?
Microsoft may pay slightly better.
Don't waste you life in analog design
Lol
Agreed.
TI’s standard offer for fresh PhDs is 105k in Dallas. So this initial offer doesn’t look so bad in comparison. Don’t hesitate to negotiate. TI is a sales company, they will value your negotiation skills more than your technical skills.
Still? 5 years ago they are offering this much and still this much 2020?
Actually this was the offer 2-3 years ago. Maybe even lower now 🤣
You have almost no experience. Maybe you can leverage your MS offer. But that's a decent offer for that role.
