刚接受了 offer，想把真实数字放出来，因为 cisco 的薪资数据跟其他大公司比奇怪地少。
role: SWE，大概对应 L5（他们会叫 engineer III 或 software engineer III，看 org，不同团队 title 有点不一致） location: san jose HQ hybrid
我的 offer： base: $188k annual bonus target: 15% ($28,200 at target, they said average is ~90-110% of target over past 3 years) RSU: $120k over 4 years, standard quarterly vest after 1 year cliff sign-on: $20k (this was negotiated up from nothing, initial offer had no sign-on)
total year 1 assuming bonus hits: roughly $240k-ish depending on RSU price at vest.
cisco 不是 FAANG 级别的 comp，但工时更正常，RSU vesting 也更可预测。从 contractor 的生活过来，完整的福利包确实有实际价值，我之前没把这些算进纸面数字里。值得把账好好算一遍。
