Help in selection for next role
Offer 1 Sony Playstation TC: 270k (Base/Signon/LTI bonus) - no RSUs Role: M1 or first line manager Offer 2 Apple TC: 225k (Base/Signon/RSU) Role: ICT4 Both are tech roles in bay area. Apple's TC for first couple of years would be lower and Sony has more cash upfront but no RSUs. The RSUs refreshers at Apple will make the deal financially better in later years (Year 3, 4). Long term would like to be on managerial path. What would you advice to pick for career and financial growth? Current TC: 180k and 10.5 yoe
seems low for M1 and 10 YoE
Sony has no RSUs and haven’t included the performance bonus in both offers’ TC.
It is a great time to join Sony. They do have great performance bonuses. Worked there many years ago. Culture is good. Politics was bad, but I blame my boss for putting me and team in awkward, adversarial position.
Thanks. How long ago was that?
2002
As ict4 at Apple you can get up to ~150k per year if you perform well (and well, much lower or nothing if you don’t). So TC would go up in the first 3 years as you pile up RSUs. Ict4 => m1 is a lateral move.
Apple is for terrorists
What do you mean ?
PlayStation in San Diego is excellent. Is your role in SF or San Mateo HQ?
San Francisco
You are incline towards management, Get into management.. you will regret again if join IC role.
True.. at Apple may take couple of years for managerial role with no guarantee at time of joining.. however have belief in my abilities..
