Apple - ICT4 - 195k/100k RSU per year/30k bonus = 325k Qualcomm - staff - 215k/160k RSU per year/30k bonus = 405k Physical Design YOE: 8 Bay Area Edit: I have PhD in relevant domain #hardware
is this nuvia or some other group.
Since when is Qualcomm competitive with Apple?
Staff gets high compensation at Qualcom ?
Its likely Nuvia
Are you in Apple and got a offer from Qualcomm team ? Or you have offer from both ? Qc offer is very good.
Currently at apple
Your appreciated TC should be more than 325k, no? Isn't that what you want to compare the offer against?
Why would you compare your appreciated TC?
I can see this.. It's what you're making right now and want to make sure you can get an increase on that
Why would you want to move from Apple to Qcom? The culture here is not good and most young people are leaving because of shitty management.
Are you sure about that qcom rsu? I know sr staff core team in SD who get less rsu. Base is probably top of band staff Bay Area/HCOL which is also quite rare since new hires are placed in the bottom percentile of base for that level
480k/3years
Since when did Q start paying so high ? I know the attrition is high but this seems possibly higher than what Principal Managers get. With the laid back culture that runs across the org, you can take Q's offer and prepare to retire.
Most SOC groups are actually not laid back and are held to very aggressive schedules with multiple tape outs a year
A few other core teams also have aggressive schedules but with the level of redundancy that many teams possess in terms of resources, I see just a few slogging hard and doing work that justifies the aggressive schedule. But others just get away with the laidback attitude. I have seen people take FTO for weeks in crunch times.
Do you have a question? Or do you need someone to tell you 405 is higher than 325? Not trying to be snarky. Obv Qualcomm is better
Thanks
Not just higher, mych higher. Almost 27% higher of apple offer.
