Hi fellow blinders,

I just got an offer with Qualcomm for their Nuvia team and it sounds awesome but I realized I have very little info beyond the comp. I'm talking to the recruiter today and want to ask some questions about benefits but beyond this list is there anything you all think I should include?

* Relocation details (can I be east Coast based till January)?
* Sign-On bonus details - closely coupled into relocation in my book
* Yearly Bonus structure - how does it work?
* Tuition Assistance - I'm enrolled in an online master's program, am I eligible, what's covered, how does it work?

And of course, blind tax:
TC: 200
LOC: East Coast moving to Bay
YoE: 7

    I can answer about tuition. Qualcomm offers an annual tuition reimbursement for graduate education up to ~10k a year. You have to get manager approval before a semester starts to be able to submit for reimbursement after the semester ends and you have passed the class. At least that's what I had to do. It wasn't difficult.

    Online and in person MS programs have to be approved schools/programs from a Qualcomm list. Generally, any accredited engineering program will be covered. Has to be a relatively applicable program for your job duties. You can't get reimbursement for an Art History Masters, for example. No coverage for engineers getting MBAs either afaik.

      Cool thank you! Been trying to wrap my head around it all and just heard back about the master's. It's at NC State for a field relative to my job and it's online so I'd be doing it in my free time

      Thanks for the details!

    They should be able to provide you with remote work

    Sign on bonus can go to 100K

    Yearly bonus will depend upon your level. Should be staff for you which means 10-12%
