Got similar offers, both are SWE 5th levels Google cloud Seattle and Apple Seattle (apple is ~60k larger over 4 years (not counting potential refreshers), higher base and sign on, but lower on RSU). Google's culture seem to be more or less known, what about Apple? Work/life balance, oncall, people, refreshes etc 13 yoe
Apple will be worse than google for wlb Stock potential >> google by factor of 2
Duhhh share the offer
Apple for the stock growth, google for the life growth
Why do people above think Apple's (stock) potential is so much greater than Google's?
If you are getting ICT5 at Apple you should negotiate for level 6 (senior staff) at Google
TC or GTFO
Apple does not support w/l balance but looks good on resume and can be a good short term experience
You can buy your own RSU with base obviously. π 60K pre tax over 4 years is close to meaningless.
Congrats, whats the offer
