Question for current Nvidia folks: refreshers, raises, and year-over-year comp
Comment Summary Some commenters state that refreshers at Nvidia are designed to keep total compensation stable or potentially increase it, although they express uncertainty about how this will play out in the long term. One commenter mentions that they have only had one review for front-loaded grants so far and are approaching the second, indicating that more data will be available soon.

Boom! headshot, dead!
Boom! headshot, dead! I work in HR and for months this one SWE team has been paranoid about layoffs for a while. For context everyone’s hated this team for a while as theyre the most arrogant and think they’re smart but since we adopted Claude usage theyve mostly relaxed but we still hate em The team in charge of layoffs has been drawing up a plan i guess and this morning they got one shotted. Whole team deactivated as if they never existed. Total annihilation
Principal Architect at Google offer
Hi, I got an offer for L7 position as a Principal Architect at Google in a HCOL area, which I believe is way too low for the level. The only reason I would be willing to switch is to learn something new and it gives me a chance to stay current and competitive on the market.

Nvidia infrastructure sucks
Joined from other more modern big companies, It is astonishing for me to find out how clumsy, outdated, and inefficient the Nvidia internal infrastructure is. Perforce, lack of unified dev servers, the crowed and confusing Nvbugs and DVS (Dynamic Validation System) web frontends, security access control (dlrequests) with no script automation and guaranteed responses, tons of outdated, incorrect, misleading Confluence pages. How have Nvidia folks been living with this?
No one saw it coming: Amazon is now the leader in the AI race
Yeah yeah, I know what you’re thinking. “OpenAI has the most popular models” “Google has DeepMind and 20 years of research” “Anthropic is the new safety darling” “xAI is Elon’s wild card” “Meta is open-sourcing everything and winning the vibes” And meanwhile everyone smugly agreed: “Amazon? Lol they’re the e-commerce & cloud grandpa. They’ll always be 12–18 months behind in foundational models. Cute, but irrelevant.” Well guess what, geniuses?
Joined Nvidia with RSUs of $185
Joined Nvidia with RSUs of $185 Joined Nvidia 6 months back with $400K RSUs spread across 4 years with the value of $185. Initially excited about it but with stock value going down over the last few months, I am losing on the offering and don't think I can do much about it, but keeps me paranoid if I made a good decision/timing of entering Nvidia.
Working 2 FAANGs at same time | Tech Industry - Blind
Yes it’s very easy. Try it. I'm doing 4 FAANG jobs simultaneously. All RTO. Very easy to be in 4 places at once. Dang what are your annual total TCs? Of all the combined jobs @LBjG48, got a Time Machine invented or maybe an avatar seen all the place at once, lol !! How are you going to manage it, while doing RTO at meta? I know people who have done it between FAANG and non-FAANG, but both roles were remote. Also if you do it, freeze your TWN asap.
New PM with a Hermes Birkin
Or could just be a born-rich person who chose to pursue a corporate job for whatever reason. In every country there is a 1-5% of the population who are just born into wealth. Many don't even work and just travel around or do art, volunteering and things like that or try their hand at starting some business, but some do work more regular jobs.

An Interview With Mama Bella
When I decided to give tribute to a series of beautifully aging bellas, I thought long and hard about who influenced my style the most. Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, Tina Turner, and Chaka Khan all provided inspiring images of strong black womanhood, but none of them could have had a bigger impact than my mother. Peggy Aura Arlene Grell, this one is for you.
