What do you think of the following for SW ICT3? - base: 166k - RSU: 230k over 4 years - cash bonus: 10-15% - refresher: 45k - sign-on: 100k The recruiter said this is basically the highest for ICT3, and that only way higher is going ICT4 (in terms of the offer). Also, once starting at Apple, how long would it take to get ICT4, considering that the recruiter mentioned Iâm being brought in at the high end of ICT3? Also, how much of the TC bump would it bring? UPDATE: 10 yoe, 4-5 relevant
Great sign on
Yeah it was really hard to get this number. Initial offer had half this amount.
What org? Swe or ML/AI? YOE? ICT4 maybe in 2 years. You are at ICT4 band already so you wonât get too much of a bump. Most early stage ICT4s I know donât have 166 base.. this is really high already Also, how do you know your refresher? 45k is fairly low.. you should get 60-80k
Apple Media Group? (Havenât nailed org names and and things down yet). Not much bump for ICT4 is kinda disappointing :( I had another big offer I let go that I was hoping to catch up to soon. As for refresher, thatâs what the recruiter told me. She says this is if I get meets expectation rating. Hope this means with better perf rating Iâd be able to hit that 60-80k range!
Yoe? Sounds like an excellent ICT3 offer
How so? Based on performance?
Huge indeed, we donât go that high for ICT3 in my org (SWE)
Whatâs SWE org?
Troll...these are not ICT3 numbers..
I had another offer at higher lvl with better package from a private company. They competed with that with this lvl. I chose this to get experience over $.
Damn! I got 150k base on ICT3. I screwed up on RSUs at 105k now that I see your offer. Also, refreshers and bonus are not guaranteed and will be prorated on your first year, in case that matter for you. Which org? Iâm in SWE
Whatâs SWE? Iâm at Apple Media Group. What do you mean refresher and bonus arenât guaranteed? Thought all companies give them out yearly, varying in amounts based on performance.
Thatâs exactly what I meant by ânot guaranteed.â Specially for refreshers, the average is just that, an average. Can be more can be less, based not only in your performance, but also visibility of your team/group/org. About the org, are you referring by any chance to Interactive Multimedia Group, IMG for short? Cause thatâs is SWE (Craigâs org)
Honestly this is close to what I got. I am ICT5
Wow, you're seriously underpaid dude.
Thatâs the sign on rsu. Itâs there to get his beaks wet. Technically itâs 50k rsu refresher. His comp is salary plus 1/4 of that rsu
