Recently got an offer from Aptiv as verification engineer. This position is based in Troy Michigan. Base - 125K Bonus - 5k RSU - 0 Yoe - 10 years Current TC - 110K#auto
It’s not a bad TC for Michigan.
Any thoughts on the stability of the company? I heard they are moving some validation jobs to low cost countries. Currently I am in a stable job but working as a contractor. I am confused between a stable contracting job vs unknown full time job.
Company is good and stable. They didn’t have any layoff durinh Covid, just paycut. I would say take it.
You have PhD?
No PhD, just masters degree Is this good or should I ask for more? How is Aptiv and how is the layoff situation over there?
No layoffs. Aptiv doesn’t lay off people. Never heard of anyone getting laid off from Indiana or Agoura Hills. This year, they were conservative and didn’t hire anybody for the whole year mostly. Now they are hiring few as they are little understaffed.
Did you take it?
Not yet. I asked them for extension till the end of this week. Have couple of interviews from OEMs and other suppliers.
That's pretty good. I just left Conti as a test engineer earlier this year. I was at 99k with 7 YOE. Making a little more now with the job hop but not nearly as much as that offer. However, I heard WLB at Aptiv is absolutely terrible
You heard it wrong
Depending on the group, the WLB is absolutely atrocious. In other groups, I’ve seen people come in at 9AM and leave by 5PM. However, people in finance come it at 7:30 or 8 and don’t leave until 8 or 9pm.

What does a verification engineer do? I spent 10 years up the road at GKN doing controls, calibration, vehicle testing, and system engineering. I made less with twice the years of experience.
