Nvidia vs Apple HW title mapping

What does IC5 at Nvidia map to at Apple? Does it match ICT5? Are they apples to apples? Forgive the pun Pay doesn't seem to indicate so. TC 380 #hardware #semiconductor

No ICT5 at Apple is IC6 at NVIDIA

Apple hikitty123 Sep 23, 2023

ICT4 of Apple is Nvidia’s IC5

NVIDIA Vo5x4e OP Sep 23, 2023

Which would mean ICT3 =NV IC4 That doesn't sound right. Can attest to both pay/responsibilities being higher at IC4 NV

Also almost impossible to get hired as ICT5 external to Apple. Apple usually promotes to ICT5 from within. There are some exceptions though if candidate is really good

Disagree here I have seen external hires at ICT5 Am not comparing Nvidia levels here

I was hired at ICT5. Need to have right expertise, right experience, and an open job req that justifies it.

It doesn’t feel so hard to get ICT5 at Apple, although they gave me an ICT5 title with ICT4 pay….

According to levels, 🍎ICT3 = NV IC2 😂. Nowhere near accurate

Apple UCne31 Sep 23, 2023

There should be some overlap, ict4 overlaps with late ic4 and early ic5. i was offered ic5 2 years ago when I was ict4.

Intel 🚀kaboom🚀 Sep 24, 2023

Meta E5 pay is at par or more than NVDA IC5

Apple pcproc Sep 24, 2023

Getting hired as ICT5 is still easy than being promoted as IC5 @apple

Apple sbsin Sep 24, 2023

But you don’t get the additional RSUs from a promotion if you come in at that level

Apple pcproc Sep 24, 2023

Overall compensation will be high in getting hired vs promotion.

Apple dhishoom_ Sep 24, 2023

Isn’t Nvidia IC4 equivalent to Apple ICT4? At least that’s what levels.fyi says.

NVIDIA jhn467uj44 Sep 25, 2023

Offer apple gave me was a joke. I wonder if they go only on grads and fanboys …
