Apple job offer with no interview
I have two teams at Apple interested in me. I asked previously about it here: https://www.teamblind.com/post/Apple-multiple-offer-negotiations-sLbLFuf6 I've been reading up on job negotiations, and for job B I did what is apparently a cardinal sin in salary negotiations- I revealed to the recruiter the (base) salary range I am looking for. That being said, Apple's job postings show a (base) range. So, the range I gave them was firmly the upper region of said range. Did I really make such a huge mistake? Has anyone seem them go higher? They told me I'm ICT4. Secondly, the current team (contractor with Team A) came back to me with glowing reviews (as mentioned in previous post), and I mean glowing. They offered me a job with no interview, and they internally did quite a lot to make this happen. So, does this indicate I may have lots of leverage in salary negotiations? Also wondering if due to Apple's single-offer rule, is it likely team B recruiter will communicate my admitted target range and/or ICT4 level to Team A recruiter? All parties have insinuated the roles would be comparable, but I'm generally distrusting of what recruiters say. Thanks in advance. TC: 200k YOE: 12years

Yes. You should never freely name a number first if you can help it. Bad negotiation strategy
I realize this gets repeated a lot, but I thought the reasoning behind this advice is for when the upper limit of the pay is undisclosed. But apple openly discloses it now
Also, I did not name a number, I named a large range
ICT 5 or FTW
Is this something negotiable?
Yes ofc it’s negotiable but you gotta convince them you’re worth it
