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 have 6 total yoe currently a Senior SWE at Salesforce. Got 2 offers. Both have similar TC of ~320k. Which to take? Apple ICT4 is higher level than Meta E4 as it is considered a Senior role.

I received an ICT4 offer from Apple, but my offer letter doesn't have the word "Senior" in it. The recruiter described ICT4 verbally as "mid-level to senior" and I see ICT4 is usually referred to as senior online (levels.fyi & Glassdoor) Does Apple usually just not include labels in the title, or a...Read more
