Apple vs FB for New Grad (master’s)
Packages: FB: Base 115k, RSU 160k, Signon 100k, E3 Apple: Base 135k, RSU 180k, Signon 50k, ICT3 The figures are after negotiations and FB wouldn’t increase the base pay for new grads. Apple is in the iCloud org. Apple seems to have better TC and the org has good refreshers, but I wonder how would the outlooks of these two companies compare? But FB seems to have better benefits and perks. E.g. more vacation days, free everything
Up to you whether you want to be associated with company stealing personal info or with doing same shit every year. Seriously, looks same, up to you what you like better
Or you can always go to msft and suicide your career altogether.
Do you have some prior workex? That’s too good for a ncg
No, but I had competing offers
Did you know that if you join Apple, you're not allowed to have any side projects? Not talking about doing a startup either: you can't write a blog post about that new JS framework you've been playing with, or publish a tiny currency converter app.
Holy fuck at that sign up rsu
Wow! That’s very high end NCG offer from Apple!
If this is your first job, don’t make the TC or money the only or the primary reason to join one vs the other. Look at what teams you may be joining and ask insiders how those teams are. Early in your career, you want to maximize your learning and experience - which maximizes your income later on at a much faster growth rate.
facebook wayyy more prestigious. anyone can get apple. i feel like you’ll regret apple and pay doesn’t matter as much early in career because if you make right moves you’ll make it up in the future
another way of thinking of it is every fb employee could probably get apple offer but very few apple employees could get fb offer
From my interview experience, not really. All FB interview problems are leaked on LeetCode so there’re many people who simply memorized those 125 questions and easily got in. Apple’s questions weren’t hard either so I’d say the difficulty was the same.
Fb for quicker promos.
Go to Apple . Higher compensation is always better .
Is this for swe?
Yes
