I have director and senior manager interviews for an ICT4 MLE role coming up. After technical rounds, recruiter said I’m their top candidate and manager seems very excited to hire me (from the initial HM call and behavioral round). Also they scrambled to get interviews lined up at very short notice. Assuming the director and sr manager calls go well what salary can I expect? I am expecting another offer for TC 420K Will Apple match/beat TC based on excitement shown by HM? This is within ICT4 band on levels.fyi but above average. TC before layoff 500K YOE: 8
Apple matches
Which company were u at before?
Apple used to match if it was a ‘competitor’, Meta was not considered a competitor. This was when market was crazy, not sure how it is now. They may come close or beat it, depends on your offer. It’s all upto what the comp team decides
Offer is not from a competitor.
When I was joining earlier this year, they were matching and beating Meta. From my experience they match FAANG in general.
Doable
MLE at Apple could easily go to low/mid 400s, even sometimes to high 400s, but that was before the market went bananas. If it's bay area, I would assume that it will still get to low 400s at least.
Thanks! Very helpful to know what’s the norm.
