Don't do it. Apple is a concentration camp.

I don't know what the expectation should be, but I got an offer for 170K and 20K signing bonus plus ~160K RSUs. Tbh, I think it was a bit under because I was a slow starter earlier in my career. Didn't take the offer.

The above is a reasonable estimate. You can probably push the RSU's higher; on an average the initial RSUs I have seen vary between 1X-2X of your base. The signing bonus can be pushed a bit too I think. Also FYI, for yearly RSU refreshes, a ballpark number will be 0.5X-1X of your base salary and cash bonus will be around 15% of your base salary.

Oh yeah, sorry, forgot about the refreshes! Thanks for that bit.

If you know how to implement Vega drivers really well I would think Apple would pay nicely for that
