Asking for a friend Salary expectations? Initial offer 130k, 700RSU and 11% 5 YOE Seems too low? What should be realistic expectation? Location: Bay area
130k seems low. Have you checked levels.fyi ? Especially for a 5 yoe
Nothing there for xilinx
Try looking at Intel salaries for same yoe and try adding 20 pct. If you are looking to negotiate, that could be a target. Intel has a competitor division and could serve as a baseline (although Intel RSU is known to be lower, 700 RSU = 70k, you could try ask for more)
What level?
Hardware team?
Yes
Recently a friend was offered 145k, 750 stocks and 12%..6 yoe as design engineer
Location?
