Hey all, First time posting here. Just curious to understand from the community what can I expect in an offer from NVIDIA (Santa Clara)? The job is purely Hardware related. YOE: ~9 Years (+PhD) Current TC@Intel (OR) ~200k, (with ~145k Base/42k RSUs/Rest Bonus+SPP. Note: New scale) Thank you folks! Please let me know if I missed to add any needed details.
If nvidia, they might give you IC4 but try pushing for IC5
Right! I am also thinking they might say IC4, which I will still take. But I would be a lot happier with IC5, so will push for it. Thank you for your comment.
Above TC the updated salary at Intel? Also, which grade at Intel currently?
Currently G7. Salary above is updated one, after most recent review. G8 has been pending for me for a while now, but I should easily be in lower to lower-mid G8 salary range.
Aren't PHds directly land at G7? with 9YOE, your manager did not give a single promotion yet? AFAIK, you will be extremely happy with either IC4 or IC5 offers from Nvidia.
Phd+9yoe could probably get to IC5. Push for it. IC5 TC will be around mid 300k. There are few posts in blind alone so do some search here as well. Good luck and congrats πππΎ welcome to the team!
Thank you so much for your message and kind words. ππ Yes, will push for IC5, seems a reasonable ask. Looking forward to joining ....
It's $400K+ now.. two of my colleagues got that last month
IC5: 260k base/600k/4 stock +50 joining bonus
Thanks for your reply. They have still to reply, so waiting to hear from them. IC5 would be really good, so will push for it.
immutab @, is that offer for SWE or HWE?
I remember seeing from one of the posts that IC5 at Nvidia is really really really hard to get and you have to be highly impactful to deserve it.
Oh, I see. Good to know. I will calibrate my expectations with respect to yours and other's comments. π I will happily take IC4 in that case, with some reasonable push for IC5. Thanks for your comment!
Congrats on getting out! Either high IC4 or IC5 but fight for IC5. Remember about no cash bonus while negotiating.
Thank you! ππ I doubt IC5 will work out. They have not said the level yet. The talks are going on through email only so far. I will update once things get finalized. Yes, I have mentioned the no bonus part and they are aware of it.
Push for more before you join, nothing that says you donβt deserve it
Yes, I am pushing for more. Things should get finalized soon. I will update. Thank you for your message.
Is intel pay low in general vs Nvidia or you were just stuck with a bad deal?
9 years ago base was low. Yearly raises are not that much so I understand how OP ended up where he is.
I see. So probably new hires getting much better offers than that. Unfortunate really
Congratulations OP. If you are coming from low cost geo to bay area please consider that as well. Bay area is very expensive and you may regret later that you should have asked for more money.
Thank you! π Yes, that is correct. I am aware of the very high cost of living. This offer would still be a lot better than another offer I had recently. I had to decline it, it wouldn't have made sense for the Bay area.

No bonus so expect base to be at least your intel base plus bonuses. Mine was a tad higher in total. Way more stock. I got a bit over 2x my intel stock. Essp is way better with 2 year lookback.
Ok, great. Thank you for your reply. It helps.
