The comp packages and benefits are great, as you would expect.
No work-life balance here. But with so many younger employees who are hungry and have minor life-commitments (no kids, can work long hours and/or at night), if you don't fit your manager's expectation of their ideal employee, expect nothing from them. 4 managers in 4 years here and this has been my observation with each.
I got banned for a good 2 weeks due to a post asking (very politely) for Apple employer discount help, inspired by reading similar posts on Blind. Then I got banned for a good 2 weeks. So, blind rule, no post asking for Apple discount??

Now the web3 apps have to use in-app purchases to sell NFTs and sell services related to them, such as minting, listing, and the transferring of these tokens. But they can't direct users to other means of payment. That means that Apple can take an up to 30% cut of those purchases. While this does no...Read more
I think it's too costly for app developers to let Apple take such a big cut, either the cut goes down or more developers will pile on to the Epic lawsuit. I hope Google doesn't do something stupid looking at apple.

EU tell Apple, do not be a monopoly. Allow competition in Appstore and IAP payment gateways. Apple says pay us just about the same commission even if you sell us through competition. https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/30/reading-the-fine-print-of-apples-dma-rules-25-things-app-developers-need-to-know/...Read more
I feel Facebook and Netflix will be gone/ downgraded to second/third tier. Google and Amazon will rule 75% of the tech industry Apple has slim chance of surviving/thriving ( only if Apple’s health/AI really does something groundbreaking) Who will be the other top players ? Uber / Dropbox / Tencent ?...Read more
30% charge on everything that you purchase through app store is exuberant. 1-5% charge is fine but 30% is total BS. It's like uncle sam for internet. Apple has a monopoly on apps and they can throw out any players who dont play by there rules. You are selling device, let me do whatever f*** I wante...Read more
Receuiter says after accepting the offer that I need to relocate and report at the office day-1. That's in 2 weeks. Is that really Apple policy? I was under the impression that I'll get some time atleast, with the 12 month to use relocation benefit rule. #apple

Just got an offer for Apple Austin Campus & trying to decide if worth taking. Currently working at Goldman Sachs I Dallas where there is close to 0 flexibility anymore. I heard Apple is starting to force 3 days back in office. Do people think the rule will stick/get worse/get more relaxed overtime? ...Read more
exclude any pretax savings such as 401k from the income. Include post tax stocks. General rule for non tech was atleast 20% savings. Always wonder how tech savings % be #msft #google #meta #amazon #apple #big tech
I have an offer from Apple, India. I'm trying to evaluate how easy/hard is it to move to Apple Cupertino office. For example, Microsoft in India has a minimum L62 rule. Amazon is very generous in moving folks to the US. I have no idea about Apple. 1) does apple encourage engineer movement from Ind...Read more
Just a thought experiment, let say Apple ban Twitter and FB, and in return they ban Apple for violating "free speech spirit" or some other made up rules. Not only all official/store accounts banned, but any pictute that has an iphone/ipad... any text mention of Apple products, discussion about Appl...Read more

Supreme Court decided not to hear the appeal of the Epic v. Apple case, the injunction against Apple's anti-steering rules stands. No more 30% chargebacks. This could cost Apple billions of dollars. I am sad and happy at same time. Bad for me. Good for developers. Hope VisionPro gets some traction...Read more
