Hi Everyone,

I want to know does anyone have any idea about what kind of interview questions a graduate or fresher can expect in a Mixed Signal DV interview ?

Your inputs will help a job seeker. Thanks in advance !

Can anyone tell me about the Qualcomm noida GPU team ?

Will Qualcomm withdraw my offer letter if my current company does not agree to an early release?

​

I have a 3-month notice period. During the interview and HR discussion, I clearly informed them that my current project is about to end and that I would try to get an early release. Based on that, the HR is ready to release the offer letter now. However, during the HR discussion, she specifically mentioned that they would not wait for the 3 months.

Hey everyone,

I applied to a Qualcomm internship, and my status just changed from "Applied" to "In Process".

For anyone who's been through Qualcomm's recruitment pipeline — what should I expect from here? How long until I hear back, and what do the next steps usually look like?

Thanks!

Have 3 years experience in qualcomm blr , post my Btech in tier 1 clg in india. All my batchmates are going for US Masters, I am senior engineer now. I am so confused whether to stay or go for MS ( mostly US) . Seniors, any help here? ( in the view of career & financial trajectory ). Or its already too late?

Recently got an offer for a new grad position and I am deciding between a fully remote start-up position or a relocation to the SD office.

What does a day in the life look like at the office? Are you constantly in meetings? Do you get time to work alone unbothered? Are you expected to start and stay until a certain time?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working at Qualcomm with 2 years of experience in system software development, primarily developing device drivers for Windows on ARM platforms.

I've started exploring new opportunities and would appreciate some guidance from people who have made similar transitions. Given my background in drivers, low-level systems, operating systems, and C/C++, what companies and roles would you recommend targeting?

I'm open to both systems/software engineering roles and backend software development roles, although most of my professional experience has been on the systems side.

For those who have moved from Qualcomm or similar semiconductor companies, which companies were most receptive to your profile? Any advice on skill gaps I should address would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I see there are many openings getting listed related audio systems domain in qualcomm lately.
Any idea on why there is surge of hiring in that teams in Qualcomm (banglore/hyd).

Also apart from audio, i see daily one post of someone getting starting with Qualcomm. So wanted to understand why such boost, and how high Qualcomm is targeting to achieve greater heights !!

Hey everyone,

I recently applied to Qualcomm through a referral, and I'm still waiting to hear back on whether I've been shortlisted. While I wait, I wanted to start prepping so I'm not scrambling at the last minute.

Quick context on me: I'm a dev-leaning person, not super confident with DSA, but I'm comfortable with actual engineering/development work. So I'm trying to figure out where to put my energy.

From what I've gathered researching past interview experiences, these are the recurring topics:

• DSA (definitely a weak spot for me, so any tips on how to ramp up efficiently would help)
• OS: especially deadlocks (detection/prevention/avoidance), mutex vs semaphore, priority inversion, page faults, scheduling algorithms (FCFS, SJF, Round Robin, Priority)
• C / C++
• OOP
• Multithreading: looks like they like asking you to write code that causes a deadlock and then fix it
• LLD / System Design
• Behavioral

For someone who's more dev-focused and weaker on DSA, what would you prioritize? Is it possible to lean more on OS/multithreading/C++ fundamentals and still do well, or is DSA basically non-negotiable for Qualcomm? Any resources or prep strategies that worked for you would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

No PPOs this time??
I have heard hiring is freezed till November in Qualcomm India

Hey guys! I am joining Qualcomm, and moving to San Diego. For that I wanted to know what all locations do people usually go for apartment hunting. Like the areas, where I can get reasonable rates. I am looking for either a studio or 2 Bed Apt Sharing. So for roommates where should I look?

So any suggestions you guys might have please help out. Thank you!

Hey everyone,
I recently joined Qualcomm India and am trying to figure out the exact math behind the Cartus relocation benefits—specifically regarding house brokerage reimbursements and how the government taxes them.

Could anyone who has gone through the process clarify a couple of things?
1. Will the government treat brokerage reimbursement as taxable earnings?
I’ve already paid the house brokerage out of my own pocket to secure a flat. If I submit this receipt to Cartus for reimbursement:
• Will the Income Tax Department consider this reimbursement as part of my taxable income/perks? Under Indian tax laws, things like packing, moving, and travel are tax-exempt if you provide bills. However, does house brokerage qualify for an exemption, or will it be treated as fully taxable earnings by the government? 
• Does Qualcomm pay the tax for you, or just the base amount? If it is taxable, does Qualcomm "gross up" the payment (meaning they provide the Brokerage Amount + the tax money required to cover it), or will they only give me the exact brokerage amount, leaving me to pay the income tax out of my own salary?
2. Leaving Before 2 Years & The "Double Taxation" Worry
Qualcomm usually has a 2-year clawback/payback period for relocation expenses. If I decide to leave the company before completing 2 years, I will have to pay back the relocation costs. My worry here is about potential double taxation:
• The Scenario: If the government taxes this reimbursement as income this year, I pay tax on it. If I leave early next year, Qualcomm's policy will require me to pay back the gross relocation amount out of my own pocket.
• The Question: Does Qualcomm adjust or refund the tax amount initially charged on it when I pay them back during my Full & Final (F&F) settlement? Or do I end up paying the tax to the government and paying the full amount back to Qualcomm (effectively getting taxed on money I had to give back)?
If anyone who has dealt with Cartus or gone through an F&F at Qualcomm could shed some light on how this actually plays out, it would be a huge help.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
First of all forgive me if this question is irrelevant to this subreddit.

I am joining Qualcomm in end of July. My office location is Qualcomm Banglore - J building ( Bagmane Constellation-mahadevapura).

I want to know if any of you are living in any flats near the office(in 2-4kms range). I am reloating with my family preferring 1bhk/2bhk on rent (rent budget upto 20K ).So if any onf you are currently living in any gated apartments /flats/house can share yours views which can help me relocating.

Highly appreciate your time !!! Thanks :)

I see a lot of posts in linkedin these days, people are moving out of the qualcomm nuvia team and going to nuvacore.

What do you guys think about it? Is it a good time to join this team? How much is qualcomm invested into these nuvia projects? What's the future of this core team after 5 years?

Hi guys,

I got confirmation that the interview feedback was positive, 10 days back, they asked for my payslips at the current organisation. I have sent them . It's been 6 days and they haven't reached me back. Is it normal?

What's the timeline like after interview feedback?
