Offer Evaluation
Current Level 64 in Redmond recent Promo Base 185K, bonus 29K, Annual Refreshers for 4 years vesting 25K ICT4 Offer for Apple in Cupertino Base 180K, signing bonus 50K, Stock Grant for 4 years vesting 150K 10-15(for vagueness) years of experience. Apple folks, what type of bonus and refreshers range to expect over annual reviews.
RSUs seem low
Your life quality and cashflow will reduce significantly by moving to the bay area from Redmond with no added TC .. RSUs are too low
I did that move trust me you need double the salary to justify move from Redmond to Bay Area. Also been ICT4 so I can tell there room for improvement in both bonus and rsu . What team in Apple?
Double is obviously needed to keep same housing situation but if renting is the route then it maybe less. How were the Apple annual bonus and stock refreshers.
Annual stock refreshers were excellent actually for me. But I think it depends on your team also. I have been told that my max limit to annual refresher is whatever the rsu I got at joining :)
Very low. I would assume that as L64 you have similar base and even more unvested RSUs. You will need 200k base and 300k RSUs just to break even.
Does Apple provide 200k base at ICT4?
Move from Redmond to Cupertino is hard to justify
Low ball
