My friend is interviewing for Principal Software Engineer position (I guess it’s called T4/L4). He has 4 yoe and PhD. What kind of compensation he can hope for in Austin? If you have Bay area numbers, please share them as well. Tagging Synopsys as cannot find Cadence. Synopsys folk can also chime in, hopefully both companies have similar salary structures. #hardware #cadence #semiconductor @cadence Design Systems
My T4 offer a few years ago was about 170k base and 1000rsu/4y, which was about 45k at that time. However I was master + 10yoe.
is t4 of cadence equivalent to synopsys principle? based on base it doesn't match. How much is your regular rsu now, joining rsus are generally much more than regular ones.
Synopsys principal is very high. More than 250-270 base and 400 tcomp. T4 cadence is more like Sr 2 Synopsys
Why are you typing Synopsys spelling wrong. You can check the one you are tagging. Bay t4 170k base 30k/4 rsu 15k sign on.
