Apple refresher

is the refresher based on ur base salary or ur initial rsu? or is it given based on perf only? i.e is it better to max on base than rsu on the initial offer?

The only guideline given to management is a maximum amount based on your level. They are explicitly meant for retaining talent, not rewarding performance. So they don’t necessarily need to be tied to performance.

So how to reward people with more yoe? Is it based on salary?

Based on level only. Year doesn’t matter. Max out base if both not possible

I heard that it is possible at apple to give, e.g., 300k RSU refresher to only one person and the remaining 3 people get nothing. At Nvidia, it will be almost impossible and the maximum will be 100k and minimum will be 50k for such cases.

Also as a manager I can't imagine doing that. I heard from 3 different people at apple, so it must happen frequently.
