Have following offers from apple and linkedin, both are for Web Front End Engineering role. Please help me evaluate the offers, YOE: 7 LinkedIn: Senior Software Engineer TC: ~290k Apple: ICT4 - Services org TC: ~325k heard apple also has good refreshers Update 1: I see most of the initial votes are inclined towards apple based on TC. But I feel linkedin has better tech exposure for front end engineerings. Please share your thoughts.
LinkedIn is still emberjs?
LinkedIn's mobile website is the biggest trash. If you are going to fix that, go there! Otherwise, definitely Apple.
Linkedin UI/UX is trash. Stay away.
What’s the refreshers at Apple?
80% of what?
Apparently we don’t talk much about that. Not even on Blind. The only number I’ve ever seen is 60k.
Like someone else said, services is where it’s at. I wouldn’t say it’s prestigious (yet), but because the company is trying to improve on this front, it is investing a lot of resources into hiring and maintaining good engineers.
@Op I’ve similar experience. Mind sharing your interview experience ? What to prepare ? Any leetcode ?
DM me
Just my .02 cents: LinkedIn uses a lot of built-in-house stacks and tools. The work/life balance can be great, but you won't be using industry standard tooling which may or may not be appealing to you in the long run.
linkedin for great wlb, but otherwise i’d say Apple
Choose LinkedIn. Apple’s culture and WLB are so bad. Even if you make more here, you’ll not be happy in the end.
It sort of seems like Apple no brainer. Apple is notable for trying to beef up its services (and this FEE) so you'll have plenty of opportunities for tech exposure
