Got an offer from Apple today. Base of $170k, Sign on - $75k and RSUs worth $300k. Currently SDE 2 at AWS in my third year, TC -> 220k (mostly due to stock appreciation) with a base of $135k. Moving to a SDE3 position in 5-6 months. Is it advisable to move to Apple (IC3 position)? The money they’re offering is too much to refuse. This is for the Siri org. PS: my current team is awesome and my manager is great at AWS. But Amazon is the only company I’ve worked for after I graduated. Also, I’m 25.
Why not wait for promotion?
That's insane offer for 2 yoe ... they must have really loved you
look on the bright side, we don’t have that stupid stack ranking crap.
300k shares?! That’s wayyyy too low considering the performance
Hmm that’s insane money. I have 4yoe they just offered tc 270k, not Siri but another ai group, should i push for more?
Yes push
How the hell are you making SDE3 at Amazon with 3 years of experience?
They’re not. I know intimately the ranges and it’s a big time low
Is the Apple offer also for Seattle? If possible, get promoted to SDE3 and then get an ICT4 offer for Siri with much higher comp. If u join, you’ll get very high RSU refreshers. You’re right about them being desperate for Siri to succeed.
Siri fucking sucks. I’ll be talking about something that has nothing to do with Apple, Siri or anything close to it and she pops up and said I’m not sure what you’re asking. First off, stop listening, second, you suck ass!
The product sucks, but working on it doesn’t. Siri is the product in which Apple is investing the most. The org is expanding and there’s a lot of potential for career growth, plus great pay. Other orgs in Apple tend not to give out much RSUs in the initial offer, but Siri doesn’t hesitate to exceed competing offers from fb and G.
Stay at amazon. You haven’t been there that long. They are doing more interesting things too.
If you can get promoted to SDE3 in half an year, stay at amazon.
At the end the recruiter just sees how many years of work ex I have. And I still won’t have 10 years of work ex to get to ICT4 level.
If you have Senior on your resume, you should be getting Senior interviews. You may get down leveled if you don't kill the systems design, but you should be interviewing at your current level.
Do it. Just make sure it’s not IS&T.
It’s Siri..do you think it’s a high investment org? It’s just insane that they’re paying this much to a guy with 2 years of work ex. Seems desperate but I love it lol
This!
