Guys please please advise ..
GS is exaggerating. Their data is not verified or backed up by real numbers.
If you are 10 years at Staff level, ask yourself why weren't you promoted already.
Perhaps you are comfortable in your level and not willing to work harder, or expand your responsibilities. Another aspect could be business needs in your team which do not justify it (IOS can help you).
Can someone decipher that last message?
r* with qcom!!#6!! pushing from TX already. suggestions...
Wow, to get from 135 to 154 in 3% annual adjustments will take 4.5 years. I can't wait that long to get the promo. What can i do to take home more $s?
@1usc No, because SD is basically Qualcomm. That‘s why I am trying to get out of SD quickly.
Market ratio of 1 for Staff sw engineer at SD is 140k. Usually when promoted to Staff you are at 0.85 and should get promote to sr staff when you are at 1.1 (154k). How soon to get there is up to your performance. It takes normally 6 years. Now that's average. Reality it depends on many factors....

For Staff (not Sr Staff), your base is closer to right than GD..
GD is right. Like duh, Qualcomm underpays!
