Apple ICT4 TC
Expecting an offer from Apple. SW role, full stack eng The interview feedback is "very positive" dose that mean I am above the expectation or just some recruiter bs? Currently in VMware as Sr. MTS TC 240 YOE 5yrs in the U.S. (4yrs before that - not India) I am thinking a TC of 300 will make me very happy. Is 300 TC for ICT4 within normal range?
What’s MTS
Member of technical staff, just a title some companies use
Not sure if it’s staff level. But generally ICT5 is higher than senior level. Apple usually doesn’t hire external candidates to ICT5 unless it’s a special case. Most likely ICT4. In ICT4, comp has a high variance that can span within ICT5 range.
Also, how does Apple RSU refresher work? Assuming initial grant is 200k over 4 years. And annual refresher is 100k over 4 years So Year 1: 50k Year 2: 50k + 25k Year 3: 50k + 25k + 25k Year 4: 50k + 25k + 25k + 25k Year 5: 25k + 25k + 25k + 25k Year 6: 25k + 25k + 25k + 25k and so on?
Yes, that's how they work. I think you can push RSUs to 250k max for ict4. Base - 180k, bonus 10-15%. Just ask for a bigger sign-on to break 300k in year 1. Starting from year 2, your refreshers would boost the TC to 300k as well.
Refreshers are only 50%? Conservatively what about ICT3 refreshers and bonus?
yes
What was the final offer ?
Yes- this person's offer is 342k for year 1 and then 292k without signing bonus: https://candor.co/offers/apple-ict4-offer-dRIN
