Hi all

I need help in evaluating my DV offer at Qualcomm.

Loc- Bay Area

Yoe- 9 yrs + Masters
Base- 180k
Annual Bonus target - 20%
Rsu- 27k/yr
TC- 243k

Sign on - 30k

Is this a good offer ?
Also would this be for Staff or Sr Staff ?

Thanks
Current TC- 215k

Edit: Btw, no longer with Marvell..Joined a startup recently, but soon realized didn’t like the environment, so making a move

Edit: Also would appreciate how this offer (TC) would compare @Apple @Google @Nvidia @Broadcom for similar experience level.

      Bay Area. I'm SW but the bands should be similar. Refresh rate will depend on rank and how much cost cutting HQ is doing. After Apple settlement the news was that this year refresh would be better, but then came the FTC ruling so who knows.

    With 9yoe in brcm, base around 170k, bonus 20%, butttt yearly refresh can be easily 150k-200k if performance is good (consider the stock price today)

      Sign on should be little bit more than yearly refresh. I know one guy get 800k sign on rsu, although he is pretty senior. I think refresh will be around 100k if meet expectations, also depends on team.

      I see..wow 800k, that’s insane...but guess we also need to account for that proverbial axe at BRCM :D

      Ok..btw what’s the approx equivalent in SD for similar title ? I have seen some better-than-Bay-Area Tc’s paid by Qc in SD too which was kinda surprising...trying to see if I can negotiate more without creating sky-rocketed expectation from the team..someone mentioned sign-on, anything else ?

    My guess you are in Wifi team. Ask for more sign-on bonus to 40K.

    wooh!
    That is a solid offer from QC. Apple would have a similar base but stocks could potentially be double. Potentially better refreshers and sign on should easily be > 50k.

      Thanks ! So Apple Tc would be +27k ie similar base, target bonus but double the rsu and better refresh? Also, just curious, how would Nvidia TC compared to this QC offer ?
