A month ago my recruiter gave me the good news that she got all the acceptance for my role and TC. She also told me they are transitioning to some sort of new employee on-boarding system so official offer may be delayed. Its now been a month since I got clearance from my recruiter (she even said welcome to Apple in her email...) and I am starting to get nervous.... I have already quit my job and am planning on going on a vacation but feel stupid now because I still have no official offer. Anyone else get an offer from Apple, if so how long did it take? Also how common is it to have your offer pulled even after getting verbal offer? TC: $0 Future TC: $185k
Maybe it’s just taking longer because of the thanksgiving week shutdown. I think a lot of people were already kinda mentally checked out last week.
You are stupid!!
This isn't a smart move !!
FYI Apple had this entire week off for shutdown. That said, do ping the recruiter on Monday morning.
Ah okay thanks, will do.
Do you have a start date from them yet?
1. Week long shutdown company wide 2. Apple is known for dragging their feet, personally I think they do it so they don’t get into a bidding war for talent (mines took 3 weeks from interview to offer letter) 3. They can pull your offer I’ve personally seen it happen 4. Good luck, not the wisest move...
I had already negotiated with recruiter and they got approval for the TC we discussed. They told me the official offer letter was just a formality and that i was already in :(
If candidate received Welcome to Apple email, retracting the offer is unheard of.
Never give notice to your current employer until AFTER you sign and the background check is completed.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It’s towards the end of the year and things move pretty slowly at Apple.
So are you saying there’s a chance I won’t get my offer until 2019?
+1 to things moving slowly at Apple.
Why did you quit your job before receive an official offer?
I hated my company and wanted to leave ASAP. I figured I deserved a vacation after the hell I went through these past few months but now I feel even worse due to slow delays with Apple... will likely not be able to enjoy my vacation next week because I’ll be brooding about my lack of offer letter
Sorry but the hunt is not over until u get an offer
