My work at Apple and my team has become notoriously toxic and my wlb has gotten worse, can’t take this anymore. I did try internal transfers but it didn’t work. Thinking about taking a Manager role with lesser known established company in SF. Is this wise ? How much should I ask in base and comp? YOE: 10y Masters Grad non-SWE TC: 140k(not Bay Area)
Go to established Chipset/Semiconductor companies like Nvidia, Qualcomm - you won’t have to compromise so much on base
My personal experience is you won't grow when in a toxic place, leaving to a lesser place to grow will be better, at least in the long run.
Yes, leave the toxic place. It isn't worth it. It will take a toll on your well-being
someone will tell you apple is not FANG
Is Facebook even relevant? I thought the new Facebook is called Instagram.🤣
Someone will tell you pay and level matter more than company name.
Is Apple really part of FANG? Since when?
Just to clarify, you are not FANG!
For all those curious cuckoos making a ruckus about FANG and FAANG- to clarify, I was FANG before I joined Apple. In any case I’ve updated the thread.
Can you describe what things are making your team toxic? I'm considering switching to Apple but I've been hearing bad things about wlb and closed doors culture.
Do you live in South Bay? Probably should be 200-250k TC at least. What kind of role do you manage ppl in?
Its an infrastructure role. Don’t live in CA atm.
Oh company will probably be in South Bay not SF proper. Are you in Austin?
