Just wrapped up an offer negotiation so sharing while it's fresh. This is for a Senior Software Engineer role at Samsung Semiconductor in Austin, full-time.
Base: $168k Annual bonus target: 15% of base (so ~$25k, paid in March) RSU grant: $150k over 4 years, cliff at 1 year then monthly vest after Tenure bonus at 3 years: an additional RSU grant, which they said is "typically" similar in size to the initial grant but vague on specifics Relocation: $15k lump sum
TC year 1 works out to about $218k fully loaded including bonus if you hit target. That's noticeably below pure-tech comps in Austin for the same level, but the base is strong and they're not as volatile as a startup.
One thing they mentioned: the tenure bonus at 3 years is a real retention mechanism and matters more than it looks on paper if you're a long-term thinker. If you're a 2-year hopper it's not relevant at all.
Negotiation worked on the RSU side, they moved it from $120k to $150k after I pushed with a competing offer.
