Let's face it, QCOM is a toxic tech company, particularly the management which is garbage and they keep recycling these people. Padovani as CTO was an exception. Not bitter, these are just the facts. I made a good chunk of $$$$ while I was there and retired voluntarily in 2016 after surviving the big layoff in 2015. Never looked back. Good luck with the latest RIF. 5G is a complete bust.
Why wait? LOL
