Apple offer

Just got an offer from Apple today and wanted to get some thoughts. 110 base and 90 RSU / 4 years with a 10k sign on bonus. I have a little less than two years of experience.

What is your current TC bro

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

Way less than that (about 100k) but that’s standard for Cisco cause they aren’t super competitive imo. I think it’s a good offer and will 95% take it cause don’t really have much else going on right now

Whats the role?

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

The new role would be with the iCloud team, not sure what the grade is but it’s a software engineering role

Apple musclenerd Jun 13, 2018

Ask for more it’s too less.

Did they tell abt annual bonus or refreshers?

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

Yeah not 100% sure how that all works but would be eligible for bonus / refreshers

YapStone ninjab Jun 13, 2018

Just check if u can ask abt these two..usually its upto 10-15% for annual bonus

Tech / non tech?

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

Would be a software engineering role with iCloud team

Microsoft Bingotic Jun 13, 2018

standard for an entry level engineering job at MSFT and maybe AMZN, but a little under GOOG or FB. Looks like a clear upgrade for you

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

Yeah either way is a clear upgrade, just wanted to get some thoughts. Some people post insane offers for 2 years of exp but I take those with a grain of salt. Thanks!

Amazon if else Jun 13, 2018

AMZN new grads with 0 years of exp get 150k+ in TC in Bay Area. The offer seems low, but if you feel it’s right go for it; get promoted and get a hike. If you have option to decline and interview elsewhere, then do that.

Is this Bay Area?

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

Yeah, was told would be at Apple park

Salesforce easi Jun 13, 2018

Also, 90 RSUs or 90k USD in RSUs?

Apple Ballin Jun 13, 2018

That’s the same as my new grad offer, so I think you could negotiate a bit

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

Yeah another friend of mine got pretty close to that for new grad too. I’ll try to negotiate a bit, but it’s hard without a counter and they probably know what I’m making at Cisco (so this is a good upgrade).

eBay Ebaymanage Jun 13, 2018

My TC after 2 YOE was 50%+ higher than when I started and that was without having to jump companies. Apple has deep pockets and usually pay very competitive I think you can negotiate for more.

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

Was that at Apple or at eBay? I heard Apple starts most new grads at about 110 base and 50 - 70 RSU so would be hard to get that much of a raise after just two years.

Cruise Automation osFf41 Jun 13, 2018

125 + 150 seems more reasonable

Cisco Tendulkar! Jun 13, 2018

Do you ha e masters ? It’s good for bachelors. What grade are you at Cisco ?

Cisco DonAnon OP Jun 13, 2018

No masters, so I think it’s pretty good. Am still at the new grad grade at Cisco

Cisco Tendulkar! Jun 13, 2018

It’s good without masters
