haha...not just that, i heard their expectation is crazy. weekend + 12 hrs of daily working is expected if not you will not finish your workload.

Ahaha..I'm sure this goes everywhere la...There are peaks and valley....as long as the work gets done, doesn't matter how many hours one work.

Alot of fresh grads can't manage or rather think it's excessive cause they don't talk to their managers. Workload can be negotiated but it's simple, you want more, you do more......the impact must be there.

Average is about 4%

5%

4% is on the low side if you're not really performing up to expectations but not enough to be given 0%.

Well, hopefully this year no more funny pure Austerity Measures despite with Pat's directions on going goals of "Lean Spending" and "Hyper-Efficient Operations"...

Oh yeah, realized Intel yearly salary increments happens only in April... Hopefully it is a good one...

Abit better than normal years before covid.

wow. The salary alignment really sure is keeping track to current market.
Now only left the Grade 3 and above do the same thing.

G3 is moving of course. G5 moved as well if I am not wrong. just the high grades one are stagnant and eventually it will be a problem soon

Gotta depends what's their grade cause it affects negatively for higher grade people and benefits lower grades.

Intel need to keep up lah. SkyeChip paying 8k for 0-2 years experience engineer. but of course, SkyeChip is sitting on piles of cash by licensing their IPs to China clients. also, SkyeChip going for IPO soon.

No doubt. Everybody is underpaid in Intel. lol.

i think still okay. since last month give 6% adjustment and in April will have another rewards cycle. so in total this year got double digit increment.  biggrin.gif  and for G6 and above still got RSU. unless you say INTC is so low that it worth nothing. lol.
*
Won't say it's worth nothing. lol. No free lunch in this world. Head over to Skyechip or AMD or starfive, they can pay but you prolly lose your sanity eventually.

Let's hope the April rewards is indeed rewarding.

You don't get paid top Gs to do monkey work, No free lunch in this world sadly. In this sense, Lattice seems to be a better choice but they seem to scale their hiring by alot.

Ultimately, Intel is still good in some ways if money is not your top priority cause money can't buy everything.

mind to share what is the good thing in Intel today?

As much as it's a mess, there is some structure that is still in place. Talk to those that went over to AMD, documentation is something that they miss the most when they try to find details of the IP and what not. While WFH is still a perk, it's also a downfall especially for those who are not efficient but can't deny it's something that money can't buy either.

These are the two that I value most still.

What are top Gs? Top Guns?

need Chipz to comment on Lattice I guess.

What about the PFCC / Selangor IC Design Park bunch from Oppstar, SkyeChipe, MaiStorage, etc...



3.5 years in Intel (IPG+PSG), 0.5 years in Altera.

I haven't reach RM 6k.
Fresh Grads are paid higher than me, those with Masters RM 7k...

Meanwhile I do burst liver monkey work RM 5k for near 4 years...
*
Top G = Top dollar.

4 years and not 6k is not unusual. Perhaps I think that's normal Assuming you've gotten a promo.

Which company paying Masters freshies 7k?

Again, after 2022, Intel's compensation has been bad.

from my experience in ddg design team, Intel has too much documentation till it is a messed, unorganized. I think anyone can open a new page and write a page of documentation on the same topic. lol.

i believe documentation will take time to build especially by the rtl designer. fantasy1989 AMD Penang by now should already have documentation in proper order right?
*
Hmmm........I don't work on DDG stuffs so can't comment there. The IPs that I work on have pretty good documentation with proper rev details.

Know someone who joined AMD a month ago just saying that they don't have any spec anywhere to refer. Just go there and die. If you don't die, you made it then.

this one must be someone in Intel already did it for you lah, especially the microarchitect designer as they are the one that define the spec. for any new project the microarchitect designer will come out with the documentation one. and i believe this kind of documentation is done in any company, not unique to Intel only.

I don't believe that there is no documentation in AMD. else, how other engineers do the work without reference and it is unproductive. unless one man show then no need documentation lah or you are the boss then need to come out with document yourself lor, for other engineers to use, which is expected.
*
Of course someone within Intel have done it. My point is that documents as such are accessible.

Prolly I shouldn't say no documentation at AMD, maybe it's just harder to procur? I don't know. Have only worked in intel. biggrin.gif

I am not sure, need to adjust for inflation I guess. And competition introduced by PFCC (Selangor IC Design Hub).
Afaik some junior from Skyechip was offered RM 10k after GT and 1 year+ working experience, and already people considering jumping out to Singapore already.

From the ad, it is SkyeChip and Oppstar and MaiStorage, need to dig back 2024 post, I think I got post before. What PFCC brings company to Malaysia with the ARM IP Licensing stuff to Malaysia Fabless Design Hubs.
Also I technically should have left Intel after 2022, I finished my Graduate Trainee in IPG and failed to convert, because boss plan to extend me. But I feel safer convert Blue Badge, for the sakes of luls join Intel Malaysia 50th Anniversary.

Since my exFabless Colleagues joined Intel, pulled me in, want earn my referral.

Pulled me in, do 3 months of work, and resigned go on work holiday....  doh.gif
Walao....

Luckily this boat I join is a good boat. Else I also want to jump out and burn the headcount already.
Kesian my manager and director liao.

[2021-05] RM 3.3k - Undergrad GT + Hire Bonus RM 1.65K
[2021-11] RM 3.823k  - First Class Honor verified
[2022-01] RM 4k - allignment for GT/G3/G5
[2022-05] Left IPG for PSG. RM 4k + 6% increment
[2022-09] Intel's CEO Pat announce Austerity Measures
Stagnant salary for whole 1 year++
[2024-03] Finally gotten my G5 conversion. They seems to compressed and realigned salary with my focal and G5 together in the same time slot... So no multipplier. But it was a 22% jump? Not sure it is normal RM5.12k
[2025-01] Alterians 10% Salary jump. RM 5.638k, then no more RM 80 food subsidy, replaced with RM 120 taxable (effective should be RM 80)
So, look back to what PFCC been doing recently in 2024.
I'm definitely under market value.  laugh.gif
Meanwhile Singapore peeps already SGD5k for Fresh Grad. I wondering the only reason I am still here because I love my job and my company culture and I still can survive with my current daily expenses.  laugh.gif
*
So you're over at Altera still? 3 years from 4k to 5.6k isn't that bad. Assuming you're not the top 10% every year, it's normal growth.

Can't compare singapore and here. Diff cost of livings as well as standards. As always mentioned, some things money can't buy.

Woah. G6 got 7.5k still? Lol. Lucky for him.

But lucky Intel still got 6% adjustment in march. So this year doesn't look too bad.
