Currently Principal Engineer at Salesforce with TC close to 390K. What would be the equivalent level at Apple which would provide an increase in TC too?
That salary is high end ict4 and low end ict5 for infra / distributed / ML kinda roles .
I can’t believe ‘principals’ even have to ask these questions...
Meaning?
Salesforce - keep in mind that if you switch companies you'll need to actually work 😀
Haha. True.
-1 for being at salesforce
Salesforce, think of this. If you get hired at top end of ICT4 you may get close to the total comp you want , but promoting from ICT4 to ICT5 after you enter the company will take years. Did you try to confirm/ask what level Apple is hiring you at ? Based on my research the base for ICT4 is around 180k avg and 215k for ICT5 ( of course at ICT5 the signon RSU and refreshers all are in higher band now)
Are both ICT4 and ICT5 senior level at Apple or ICT5 is principal level?
Not attainable at 4 without stock price appreciation
What does a top of the band offer for 4 looks like?
Base for ICT4 could go up to around 220k (217 I think). RSU grant could be as high as 400k/4, but it's not common AFAIK. Usually they start with something like 160k/4 for ICT4. Bonus is around 12%, but it's not in the offer and on manager's discretion. Sign-in could go as high as 100k. If you put everything to max, it would be close to 400k with refreshers, but there are too many assumptions. I would say you need ICT5 to match this.
