Apple TPM IC3 offer

Nov 9, 2021 7 Comments

Hello, I recently got an offer from Apple for a IC3 TPM at Ops. They are offering:
Base 150K
RSU 105K
Sign-on 35K
12K relocation.
I feel this is a low ball for my YOE and have been negotiating for a week now but the recruiter told me it is a maxed out offer for IC3 and they are not willing to go for IC4 at the moment.
My counter is:
TC 260K with base 170K.

The recruiter told me that the current approved offer is maxed out, and if I want to go higher they will need to go for another round of approvals. She is indicating that I can "reject" the offer with reasons and there may be a slight chance they will reconsider to extend another offer within my expectation, but of course no guaranteed.
What does this mean? Anyone had experience on this? Does this mean that I would have a chance for another offer after I reject, or they just simply wanted me to reject so they can move on to another candidate?

YOE: 9 years in Mechanical Engineering field with 3 years as TPM

P.S. I am not currently working for Microsoft. Current TC 200.

    This is unfortunately the ict 3 pm offers at apple. Have a seen a few of those stupid lowballs, down levels only to lose good candidates.

    Might get lucky if you have competing offers and apple isnโ€™t your first choice

    Also an ICT3 in Ops, my offer was fairly similar 140 base/105 rsu/35 signing/21k relocation. So if you accept an offer, they bring it to the higher ups who have to approve the offer before you get a written one so likely you are at the top of the band of the current approval. You could risk it and try to have HR/hiring manager bring it back to the directors/VPs but they will likely just move onto the next candidate

    • Thank you for sharing! I've declined the offer and the recruiter said they will evaluate internally and get back to me either with another offer or move-on. This is not my first and only choice so I am curious to see if they will come back to me.

    • @Microsoft did they get back to you with a more competitive offer? Seems unusual for their offer to be below what youโ€™re already making, especially considering 9 YOE

    Itโ€™s up to you to decide what you are willing to work for. But they will see if you accept at this level. Every time Iโ€™ve asked for more and said I canโ€™t accept an offer, theyโ€™ve upped the offer.
