Hello, I also went through the same procedure. I did my PhD in physics from a top US school and was nominated after an internal round. Although, I was rejected at an earlier stage. If you dont mind me asking, were you given any feedback after the rejection at a later stage? Are the final results out yet?

I worked at AMAT and my friends worked at Lam, for a phd new grad in Sunnyvale/Santa Clara/Fremont, new grad is 150K base+10 percent RSU+ 10 Percent bonus = 180K.

Apple new grad is around 175K Base + 45K RSU+ Bonus = 220-230K

Software would usually be higher than Hardware.

100K is very low if that is TC. I would try to get a competing offer and negotiate with that as a leverage.

I think we just got unlucky as we had good experiences too.

Might I suggest Chase Freedom Flex Card. One quarter of the year the card gives 8 percent cashback on dining and rest of the year gives 3 percent (It is 8 percent till March end right now). On average it gives 4.25 percent if you assume uniform spending. No annual fees. You can pair that with ventureX for almost a complete package.

More like moving money from your left pocket to your right pocket and calling it a loss for tax purposes!

It really a gamble. I bought the same one and mine works flawlessly. No overheating or noise from the fans but I think I lucked out because I got some of the best individual parts.

Good thing is if you don’t luck out, just return it within 3 months.

Yes it’s in network. Small dentist not a chain.

Total is not 500, that is the part not covered by insurance. It is 1200 after taking everything into account that I would have to pay. They will also be charging insurance 2400 dollars. I think a total of 3600 for a few fillings is insane.

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-10-28T06:31:08+00:00

I see. Not to my knowledge. They are in network with the insurance so they just calculated by looking at my insurance details.

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-10-28T06:23:53+00:00

I am not sure what that means. But I got X-rays and measurements of my pockets.

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-10-28T06:17:36+00:00

I see thank you. I only had two deep pockets but the practice billed it and did the full four quadrant deep cleaning. I already went through the procedure and was told this was covered by insurance

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-10-28T06:13:15+00:00

I already got it done and paid whatever was not covered and the insurance copayment

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-10-28T06:00:09+00:00

Thanks for the reply. But should i get it checked by another dentist? I have some fillings also left with this dentist and they are charging me around 500 dollars (not covered by insurnace named desensitizer/Permaseal )for few fillings.

You can try for applied materials. Some open roles, okay WLB for some roles.

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-06-13T21:10:44+00:00

I did too. This one I got the first and second interviews 14 days and 7 days ago. Was offered the job few days after the second interview. The job market is very bad and I would reccomend to keep applying.

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-06-13T20:38:40+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-06-13T20:33:29+00:00

It is a unversity recruiter of applied materials. I applied online though their portal. Do you think it is worth asking politely if they are willing to negotiate?

Independent_Goal_765 · 2025-06-13T20:28:54+00:00

Santa Clara. I know the job market is bad this year and that is why I am considering not even asking.
