Are you genuinely happy to work for Broadcom or just happy to receive any type of offer? I'm curious and would like to get a poll going for people who are actually excited to work for BCOM or relieved they still have jobs.

Base is same, bonus rate is strong and RSUs are robust.
Overall I’m much higher, almost 50%, than my current TC for the next four years. Obviously contingent on bonus payouts.
My pay was the same and some decent RSUs. I have mixed feelings. I always like what VMware was about in terms of employee benefits and work life balance. But VMware has major issues with BUs running the company all disjointed. They do not know how to go to market with products, they make a mess out of packages and skus and impossible to sell this stuff. Buy all kinds of companies nobody else seems to want. I am hoping BC will put an end to this nonsense. But happy to now be out of work for sure. the market is very tough right now.
Got full time offer and I'll take it.
Taking it means I don't have to worry about my visa for a little while and hopefully means I can get that final step of the green card process going. Perhaps lets me set my timeline for if/when I want to change jobs and company.
Once I have the green card, well it will depend on how BC treats the team and I.
With the 20% cut to base pay, downlevel, and still reporting to my incompetent current manager, it's taken away the parts of my role at VMW that I enjoyed leaving only the cr-p parts. Am out as soon as I land an offer elsewhere.
Salary was about equal, RSUs are a good offer. Not complaining.
How is the pay good? Broadcom pays THEIR engineers way more!! VMware under pays for the industry and Broadcom is continuing that! Equal pay for equal work.
Honestly, I'm happy to work for them as long as they leave Tanzu mostly alone.
Planning on staying. Have a feeling that this will end the stream of ridiculous acquisitions and mergers VMware has been susceptible to. The dust is still in the air for changes, but once settled, it should hopefully be far more predictable and consistent going forward. I look forward to that.
Only point of contention is that Broadcom was absolutely not transparent enough about the process in recent weeks or months, which led to more stress than necessary.
I have no intention of staying at Broadcom. The culture is a total turn-off for me.
DEI does not include Indian workers. They're not in the DEI criteria. DEI would have actually decreased Indian employee rates.
I think you may have missed the point, proved it, and shown your own biases in one sentence. Bravo.
my org is easily 60%+ Indian doesn't really speak well for diversity anyway)
huh?

I'm neither excited or disappointed. VMW's focus on DEI didn't do anything for me in either direction (the fact that my org is easily 60%+ Indian doesn't really speak well for diversity anyway). Broadcom knows how to run engineering teams and that is what I'm here to do.
My offer was odd. Depending on who you believe, I was up leveled from my role in VMW, but took a >10% cut in base comp. With RSUs I'll come close to even, but that doesn't consider my existing VMW grants. In the end, I get to keep my job, most of the people I work with, and come out ahead financially (for at least the next 3 years).
Now back to being the old man telling everyone to just do their jobs...
just a temporary closure.
pay is great and so are RSUs. happy to have a job while looking for another
OMFG the pay is so good!
