Hi all! Got an offer from Apple as sde in test. Previously had 2 years testing experience and went on to get a master degree in Data Science in an ivy league school. So recruiter asked me my expectation and I said base 120k and then he provided that RSU typically would be 70k for 4 years. Is it a fair market price? What would be a fair tc for sde in test with 2 years exp in Apple? Many great thanks! #tc #rsu
Huge low ball! Don’t get tricked!
Any idea on a fair market price?
Sounds like lowballed yourself?
I know....should’ve done more research :((((((((((((
Ouch. Your only hope now is to get competing offers.
What’s the location though?
HQ Cupertino.
Whats the base?
Haven’t heard back from what the recruiter would offer. I asked for 120k and he said if he can’t give 120k then he will match it with sign on or more RSU(he said it’s typically 70k) which I think is bs
Which team is that? Its really low for 2 yoe
Shud ve asked for 150k bas with at least 150k RSU
Also dont get into Test if you have any plan of going into dev in future, kinda like shooting yourself in the feet.
Thanks for the advice. Already shot in my feet and will try to figure out remedies ಠ_ಠ
Looks like they are giving you ICT2. 70k is max RSU ICT2 get. Trust me on this - tell them you have master in data analytics and 2 YoE and will take ICT3 and nothing lower. I know people with masters and no experience get ICT3. That should up your RSU to 105k. If you are desperate and cannot walk away then just take it. I would walk away. It’s up to the HM at what level they want to bring you. Usually masters + 1 YoE is the grey line between ICT2 and ICT3, so if you have experience around this mark, it is up to the HM and how you market yourself and negotiate. Since you have 2 YoE + Masters I think you should really fight for ICT3
Why do you think 70k is max RSU for ICT2? I’m pretty sure levels.fyi shows higher numbers plus I know someone who received 90k. I think the cap is ~100k.
It was changed recently. But again, only heard this from my own recruiter and 2 other people at Apple. Might be wrong
I joined as ICT3 with a little over 2 yoe last November. I got 170k base, 300k stock and 95k sign on. Trick is to have competing offers and know how to negotiate.
Could anyone share any details on what to expect for a non tech role in WW Operations team for a Program Manager? What to expect for non-tech IC4 or IC5?
