Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! As noted in previous responses, we are currently reviewing compensation across all regions and teams, and will adjust salaries as needed to reflect the industry. I would also encourage you to start using the AFDS logbook to hold more frequent discussions with your line manager, as your progress throughout the year can more easily be tracked/documented for annual salary adjustments and bonuses. -Rick C.

Thanks for leaving a review on your internship with ARM! While housing prices are out of our control, we are currently reviewing our compensation package across all regions and groups, so an increase in salary can certainly offset some of the "sticker shock" that comes with living in an expensive region. We hope you continue on with either another Internship or a graduate level role once you have completed your studies at university! Good luck! -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager
