I was told by recruiter they plan to offer me a position and want me to send my expected pay. The recruiter told me she expects me to join at the low end of ICT 4. PhD + 4 YOE Hardware role in display What’s should I send them? #hardware #interview #apple #offer
Never send expected pay! Let them give you the first number.
They said I could give a range.
that's a trick lol when you tell "the range" you are telling the lowest number you are ok with
Did they give you a range? Are you a fresh grad?
They did not give me a range, only a level ICT4. I have 4 YOE in industry + PhD.
Don't give them the first number or range. Let them show their cards first
225k, 100k sign on, 700k RSU
0_0 that is a lot of RSU.
Is it for HW or SW @apple? Op, now you have guidance salary range in the job profile. Atleast you know you are not lowballed. As far as RSU’s goes, SW has higher range. What Apple has put the RSU doesn’t look like HW grant. So take a look Levels and old blind posts
It depends on the location and the division within hardware. Design/DV/arch/RF/system design etc.
Design in hardware
is it for real for OP's case?
Okay, I have an update. The process was as described on other blind posts. Everything was over the phone with no writing. I used blind and Level.FYI to set an initial expectation for ICT4. The recruiter said the number was out of the band without justification, i.e., another offer or my current pay that they need to match. Then gave me a number for the base, RSU, and sign-on. I gave another number for each one. The recruiter said okay and said they would put in a compensation recommendation. The recruiter came back to me the next day with a verbal offer, Base 195K RSU (240)/4 = 60K sign on 30 Total 285K =195+240/4+30 Looking at levels and blind posts, this seems reasonable. What does blind think?
This is in line with most HW pay. When you say design, is it RTL or systems design?
Optical design
Looks good for 4yoe. Add bonus it is 300k
He’s Phd+4yrs so more like 6-7yrs ? Is it still in the band for ic4 at apple ?
