Staff ASIC Design Base: $145k Stocks: 75k/3 Signon: 45k Location is SD but might be okay with Austin. Still checking Seems low for staff. It’s with SOC team. Recruiter seems very adamant that base will not go higher than $150k and stocks sign on are already max. I am waiting on few offers but told recruiter that I have them already which are higher than this. Please help! Current TC: $170k, G7, 5.5 yoe Edit1: Qualcomm base increased to 149k and Austin location. Rest is same.
Base pay looks reasonable for San Diego, 5.5y exp. TC also looks good. Try to ask for more stock. If you get this in Austin, just take it.
How do the refreshers look like at Staff level?
Yes - levels.fyi shows much higher TC for qcom staff. how are the rsu refreshers generally speaking for staff?
Looks like good numbers. Apple Austin is offering lowering than this for 5.5yoe. I couldn’t negotiate on base.
Do you know the team? Core team might be higher?
It’s SoC team. More than this will probably give me away.
SoC is non-core. These are good numbers for a non-core team in SD
Which SoC team? I might be able to help evaluate!
DMed you
Seems standard Staff offer. You can go a little higher on sign on . What does the total TC look like ( as in what is bonus /stock grant) in a normal year ?
Too low
Base is good for Austin, low for SD so maybe 10k more just to cover CA state tax. signon seems good. Stocks maybe ask 30k/yr. It is on lower side for SD, but SoC is not core team for qcom.

Which is harder, SWE or PM interviews?
I knew staff getting 160k at Qualcomm bayarea
Yea Bay Area is different. Recruiter mentioned around $160k base there for the same role
Don’t come to Bay Area for 15k raise. Qualcomm is not the company where you can make enough to live in bay
