Got a verbal offer. Apple operations & manufacturing. ICT3 Base: 145K RSU:110K (vested over 4yrs) Yoe: MS + 4 yrs Location: Bay Area Can anybody help comment on the offer? How is the wlb in the manufacturing org?
What is your current TC in intel ? If it is not in Bay Area, you might be better off sticking with intel in Oregon, AZ etc. think about taxes though
My current TC is 125K outside Bay Area in other state.
Ops expect to have nightly calls with Asian vendors
No sign on bonus?
They gave me a range for sign on bonus ~15 to 25k
Hey OP, did you end up taking the offer?
Were you able to negotiate ?
Seems similar to TPM offer in Ops and Mfg. The offer is not so great with low RSUs. Also check the frequency of travel to Asia, if that’s a deal breaker ( 12 hr time zone difference will mess up your sleep). Of course, I’d take if my spouse has similar pay. Otherwise, pretty mediocre offer for one earner family in that area. I won’t take it.
Thanks that helps. My husband has not landed a job yet in bay area. Travel mentioned is 25%. Not sure what 25% looks like in terms of frequency?
25% sounds a lot. But that's why apple pays you a lot too. Apple in the long run pays much higher than Intel. Plus you open doors to bay area which has a lot more opportunities.
