Should I move to Apple
Should I switch to Apple with just $25k increase in base salary? Or I should decline it and try again but in different group? RSU and sign on bonus are at the min level. Experience 2.4 years
Which team or org?
Mind sharing the numbers?
25k base for 2.4 years (I support you rounding that up to 2.5) sounds like at least 16% raise (assuming 150k base which is generous for 2.5 years). That's an excellent raise. However, you didn't share TC with us... So it's pretty impossible to evaluate further
TG68 can you pm me as well want to know what offer you got... my friend is applying for Apple and want to know more about total comp.. her is nontech role
I’d do it. I’m usually not too fused about names on a resume, but IBM has a particularly poor reputation. Having Apple on your resume instead of IBM this early in your career will be much more valuable than the 25k pay bump.
The concern is about if I should accept this offer or decline it and try to apply to another group or different company with bigger base. What’s the min time I should stay there before moving to another company?
I feel like 2 years is solid. Enough time to be a full fledged contributor on your team and to have gone through a full performance review cycle. But moving on after 1+ years for a better opportunity is completely understandable.
Joining IBM as a new grad is ok, staying there for long is a poison unless you have real good explanation. Unless you have a better offer elsewhere, I'd say accept it. Are you relocating?
Yes, move for the experience you would gain and having that on your resume.
Have you worked at Apple?
No, but I work with someone who has and he never said a bad thing about Apple. He did have some funny stories though.
