Hi all, I got one offer from Apple for IC4 role and this is the offer without negotiating yet. Base: 200K RSU: 540K/(vested over 4 years) Signon bonus: 75k I also got a call from Amazon and they are extending offer for E6 in Alexa. They are going to come up with numbers today/tomorrow. Any advice or wisdom about each level in the company? The compensation might be lower in Apple, I heard Apple doesn't match much but having Apple on resume is also plus. Anyone matched offer in Apple before and can advise me please. YOE: 8 current TC: peanut Any advice please? Thanks for your help #apple # amazon #e6 #IC4 #offer

RSU is for 4 years?
I’d expect the Amazon offer to about in line with that good ICT4 offer - Amazons offers are cash heavy the first 2 years then RSUs kick in (5/15/40/40 % per year), but plotted out on a bar graph you’ll see they’re just coming up with a TC number that’s relatively consistent per year (they assume 10% year over year growth of their stock). Amazons signing bonus is prorated into paychecks over 2 years and if you leave before that you keep whatever you’ve gotten so far, whereas with Apple you’ll have to pay back the (maybe prorated, maybe not) pre-tax(!!) signing bonus if you quit within one year. You may be able to negotiate a little bit with the Apple recruiter if you wave the Amazon offer in their face politely, but Apple negotiates less than other companies during interviews is my understanding. I say go with Apple
yes, that is what I read that they negogiate less. Any negotiation advice or wording please? how would be the best way to say it? I am not good at these things.
Just be very polite - you’d be super excited to work for Apple but in these economic times you have to make the right decisions for your family, you have this offer from another FAANG that’s a bit more and you would gladly accept an offer from apple if they can get in the same ball park etc
What is YOE?
Amazon will pay around 500k, you can try asking Apple to match
Alexa which team?
I am worried I can be easily detected with more info. Had an incident like this before. Does it matter in picking them? It is a new team I guess. Not familar with Alexa's org much
