Which company has better compensation and overall growth? Just received an offer from both companies in hardware org. Apple ICT3 Base: 150k RSU: 105k / 4 years Nvidia IC4 Base: 160k RSU: 340 shares / 4 years Signing bonus is 5k more than Apple. YOE: MS + 8 years (but only 5 years are relevant to both roles)
Nvidia looks like they're a vastly better offer here... 176.25k from Apple, versus 245k from Nvidia. Plus that better signing bonus at nvidia
It's 340 units not 340k RSU
Ah, then at $244/share it's 85.4k over 4 years. So 181.35k at Nvida + 25k signing. Versus 176.25k Apple + 20k signing. Okay yeah that makes it tougher to call. Nvidia had insane last couple years due to Bitcoin craze, but I expect that to die down. Apple is a solid company but have honestly been mediocre growth recently, but will be less subject to wilder swings. If you're young or not tied down by family and responsibilities I'd go with Nvidia. If you want more stable and consistent I'd go with Apple
What’s the signing bonus amount ?
Apple is $20k and Nvidia is $25k
I'd probably take less money at NVidia, just comparing the companies.
Any reason why?
Nvidia has one of the best ESPP plan, right?
Yeah, I hear it has a 2 year look back window. Not sure about Apple's though.
Espp limit is $25k annually including the discount. Not exactly a pile of cash.
is this hardware offer, otherwise seems really low to me
Yes, this is for hardware.
Is it $340k RSUs or 340 RSU units at nvidia?
AAPL - lots of perks if those interest u, brand name, solid financials, not too much workload in HW, RSU refreshers are the best in industry
What kind of perks do they provide? And I thought Apple HW groups have a huge workload and not so good WLB?
That was true a few years ago. Now they have hired in truckloads so the work is less and repetitive which gives you more time to do other things - learn new skills, Family time etc.
Apple. Similar 1st year numbers. But its ICT3 vs ict4. Refreshers at Apple higher Nvidia growth will slow down Apple better brand than nvidia.
RSU refreshers is much higher at Apple. I have worked both at Apple and Nvidia; barely got any refreshers at NVidia and there wasn’t any cash bonus either. But this was a while (5+ years) back and things might have changed in NVidia.
Pretty obvious IMO, isn't it?
