Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Twice in my career, I have accepted counter offers.

I obviously only accepted because counter was better.

Accept that bridge to offer is burned, but so what.

As long as you never accepted the offer before getting the counter.

Never accept a counter offer. Google should I accept a counter offer and understand why Qualcomm would do this. It is not for you. If they thought so highly of you they should already have you at the counter offer level. Be careful!

Experts advice? Lol

Don't listen to that hot air.

A real experts advice:

Always negotiate with all parties to get the best offer(s) for you!

Decide at anytime what is best for you.

And don't be afraid to accept a best offer at anytime.

That means that at any point. If another offer comes you are free to accept that offer even after you accept an earlier offer.

Nothing wrong with that and perfectly normal.

Businesses will do the same for themselves. This is not an issue for anybody especially in the business world.

You win some, you lose some. Thats how it goes.

Obviously if you burned bridges counters might not be in the cards.

If you are a valued employee, everything is negotiable.

Sound advice here, for once. OP, don't even consider a counteroffer.

No. Experts will say is never good to take a counter offer. There was a reason you are looking and those reason will reassert themselves in the near term if you choose to stay with a little more $ in your pocket.

Don’t pimp out your emotional well being.

Go to something new with inspiring and ethical leadership.

Begin a new adventure.

Dude, get out while the getting is good. Do NOT look this gift horse in the mouth.

Full disclosure: Not a Qualcomm employee, but i happened to see this.

To the OP: if you have already given notice to your current employer, and they counter offer, DO NOT accept. If you accept your current employer's counter you will have the following things happen:

You will have burned a bridge with a potential employer you may need in the future. (Not just the company, but anyone involved in the hiring process.)

Your current company will now have you marked as unreliable, for leaving then being brought back by the counter offer.

You will automatically find yourself earmarked for liquidation of your position, at the first available chance. If you are in an at-will employment state, this will be done sooner as opposed to later.

Much like a relationship, if you decided to end it, there was a reason you wanted your former employer to be an 'ex'.

That is my two pence. I have never accepted any kind of counter from a current employer, as the chances staying after giving notice will not explode in your face is slim.

Really, so Q only pays the market rate when you go out to the market and get a 20% better offer ??

Counter offers at Q are RARE. And heres how they work. You get paid 20% more; are now paid "out of line" with peers and so next several years = tiny to zero raise and RSUs dropped to the absolute minimum.

At the same time, your workload (aka 'expectations') will go up way higher.

And next up, when current project ends, your 'out of line pay' now marks you with big red bullseye for the next round of layoffs.

You already accepted the other offer ? So you goin' to "do a Q" and renege on promises made ?

Q broke promises to me twice. I didnt wait for a third time. I left.

You told Q and got a counteroffer which screams at your current manager you are at risk for leaving in the middle of a project.

Q no longer trusts you.

Game over. Go in peace..

In my 20 years at Qualcomm I have never heard anyone get a counter offer. Has anyone else? I was aware if a no counter policy years ago, maybe this has changed.

NEVER AND I SAY NEVER take an offer from the company after you've given your to weeks. You will now be on a sh-- list and any time you f--- up you're gone.

Just move to the new company.

where do u see self in 5 years time at new company?

where do u see self in 5 years at QCOM?

there is answer! u are welcome in advance.

Question. If you did get a counter and got 20% more does that make decent (not great not terrible) great again? If not it seems you heart and mind have already wandered it may be that simply shaking things up and going for it is the answer! Offer details and compensation question from previous post LOL those don't matter the detail and question are clear in the OP. Troll will troll.

offer details please ?

is this san diego ?
