Hey all,

I’m considering a few Senior Financial Analyst jobs at Apple and wanted to get your feedback. I have 4 years of experience; 2 in audit and 2 at a boutique real estate private equity (in finance / fpa). TC right now is $180k (excl. preferential deal purchase options).

1. High level, do I have a shot with this experience? How can I increase my odds?
2. Are there any specific groups within finance you’d recommend I look at / stay away from?
3. Applying cold is never fun, anyone want to screen me and potentially give me a recommendation? I’m a hard worker and am relatively presentable.
4. Anyone on here hiring right now?

Appreciate the help all - thank you!

    Your TC is pretty high for only working 4 years, is there a reason why you want to switch to amazon

      I’m looking at both Apple and Amazon.

      But yes, I’m looking at my long term growth trajectory here. I’m happy w my current TC but I know there’s a limit to how much more I can grow at my current firm vs at an industry leader. I also don’t mind putting in the extra hours where necessary (still relatively young) if it turns into something worthwhile.

  • If you don’t mind me asking, how did you make the jump from public accounting to the real estate PE firm?

      I don’t mind at all. I put myself out there as willing to take a risk - ie. I was on a 90 day probation as they “felt me out” for the SFA role. Really had to put into second gear for those 3 months but ended up getting along well with my boss.

      Other way that’s common is people getting into accounting at one of these PE firms and lateraling over into a finance role. Happens more often than you’d think.
