Hi, I have accepted Apple offer and waiting for h1b transfer to go through. But the attorney is delaying filing for h1b transfer. It has been 3 weeks that I submitted questionnaire and documents and one and half weeks since they received LCA but they haven't filed it yet. can you please tell me by when should I join to be eligible for October's performance cycle?
The last date you can join and still be eligible for October performance review is April 30th. That being said if you join in March or April you will be last in line for bonuses, just by virtue of having the least amount of time spent on the team. The review process starts in June, so if you do well before then, you could get a prorated amount
What happens if you start in the first week of June during review time?
I thought the prorated bonus is fixed irrespective of whenever you join. Is it not the case?
