Screw it. Don't care anymore. Let Israel take it. One state solution.
Got an offer which is technically a down level as per levels fyi, however It’s probably about the same. Offer was lower than I expected, and there seems to be no room to ask for ICT5. I am familiar with Austin I think it’s only slightly more expensive than Plano. There should be room on sign on, any thoughts? What about base/rsu, rsu is per year. Apple is also a better company, but I own a home and moving for basically the same salary makes me reconsider this. Also while TC is slightly higher, base is much lower. Currently at Capital One, 12 yoe
Did you leet for the Apple offer? What do Apple coding interviews look like?
Barelly any leetcode, was a more domain focused interview
Apple doesn’t do LeetCode.
I wouldn’t move for this, unless you really like the role at Apple and this is your way of entering into faang. I would atleast want a 15% bump in TC. Atleats ask for a bigger signon.
It can definitely be a good way to get into fang and jump later. Not sure how high sign on can go
I got an offer two years ago with an $85k sign-on bonus. It was still 🥜 because the base salary was too low. I echo @daycaredog, accept Apple’s offer only if you are a fanboy and/or want a foot into FAANG league.
Stay at C1. Very good salary.
Good offer
Ex Apple ICT4 here (although I was in the Bay and not Austin). The RSU is pretty good for that level actually. Base can definitely improve but Apple is notorious for negotiations. Overall I think TC is good specially if you think Apple stock will keep going up. And yes getting in as ICT5 is tough and ICT4 is actually terminal at Apple. You didn’t mention your YOE btw so that may have a factor as well.
Thank you for the feedback, added yoe, 12 yoe. I would definitely like a higher base
Negotiate and get out of capital one. Also take me with you.
Apple vs a bank. Not sure if anyone is sane to think why FAANG does not matter.
Great offers, but do you really want to pick up and move for $10K a year. If you have any family in Plano, I wouldn't do it
If you own a home, not worth it.
I own a home with with a 2.4% lock rate, which is definitely a factor to consider. I could buy a new home all cash in Austin, to avoid the high mortgage rates, but that would also leave me with much less market investments.
Capital one offer is insane! My associate VP offer only pays 175k in Boston
It is my current job, not really a new offer
Just a high performer getting 6% raises every year I see
140k equity per year?
Yes
No fkin way, this is one of the highest RSU for ICT4 I have seen
