Hi, has anyone tried changing roles at Apple in SEG. What was your experience?
I moved from SWE to IS&S. Experience was ok but because of when I did it my old manager gets a say in my ranking for the review.
Not possible. My manager blocked it and threatened to fire me if I tried to switch again
It’s possible. I know a lot of instances of people who’ve made the transition successfully
Good to know. Thanks
I am in the middle of the process. It sucks! The company culture is outdated. It feels like staying in a company 30 years ago, with Cold War style.
I moved within SEG and it was smooth except previous team manager held me back for 3 months unnecessarily. If you are planning this is perfect time to start talk with new HM confidentially and see if he is interested. If interested ask him to do formal interviews without telling your manager. If all goes okay tell your current manager at last week of September. This way your this year review not affected.
This is probably by design.
I havnt tried it myself.. but people have been successful ib having a coffee chat with the HM and then informal interviews. Once the team and HM likes u .. u can disclose it to ur manager. New HM will also check ur past reviews on mypage and talk to your manager about the switch
Thanks. Were those people in SEG?
