i am expecting an offer for staff engineer role in qualcomm at san diego. havent had a numbers discussion yet, but want to get some ballpark idea before they come up with concrete numbers. what is the typical yearly bonus and rsu to be expected for a staff engineer position ?
I worked at Qualcomm in San Diego and I'm pretty sure the numbers in that link above does not hold good ! Base for Staff Engineer would be around 125-140k (might be more if you have competing offers I guess), Sign on / RSUs are subjected to YOE and competing offers !
Thanks ! What is the yearly RSU that one can expect at staff level ?
I was a Sr Engineer when I left and I used to get around 500-700 RSUs per review cycle (1 year) in the last 2 years of my tenure ! At that time QCom was financially not at a very good state embroiled with Apple legal issues and issue with China over it's licensing ! The stock price was around 50-60 USD at that time. Now it has sky rocketed to $90 and is going great with the 5G roadmap and won back Apple's business ! So things might be better in terms of compensation now more than ever at QC ! Easily could be anywhere from 1000-1500 RSUs for staff engineers per year depending on performance, business unit revenue and your team's pool.
