Hi all, I recently got an offer for an analog position at qualcomm. Yoe MS+1.5 Engineer title, location SD Base: 110k RSU: 40k/3 Bonus: 10%-20% of base + 15k RSU And my current TC is 125k out of California I kind of doubt the bonus could not be such high and thus the TC is a little low. Could I ask for more RSU and some signon? Please advise. ------------------------------- Updates: Rsu: 100k/3 Signon:30k For my experience level and considering I am slightly changing tech area, I probably cannot get a senior title by this moment. I feel the new offer is not bad for engineer level. #qualcomm #hardware
hr said mine would be12%of my base if i join.
No pls ask for $1 more.
Is this a Senior Engineer role?
It is an Engineer role.
If you’re currently in a LCOL area, it doesn’t make sense to switch with such a minor difference in TC. San Diego rent for a decent 1bed apartment is $2500+. Your promotion to Senior will be minimum 2-3 years away as well. Try to ask for Senior Engineer role. Qualcomm recruiters are infamous for not negotiating but it’s still worth a try.
Ask for signon bonus
Don't join this shit hole
Any particular reasons why?
Please don’t join, the inflation in San Diego is crazy. Even if you share an apartment the expenses come around $2k. Cannot live here working for qualcomm. Try for other companies, I’m sure you will get a better job
Bonus is expected 10-15%. At 2 YOE my base is also 110k. I am core modem Sw. Not sure how it’s for analog teams. Ask for sign on bonus and negotiate little more on RSU.
Not worth it. San Diego is expensive.
I usually see MS get Sr Eng role, I was BS new grad and got Eng
MS + 1.5 YoE is Senior?
WLB, too many deployment chips - too little feature ownership, meetings at odd times due to teams in other countries
Base is very weak for senior imo. Sr. Base was about $110k about 10 years ago when I used to be in SD office
