Stay at Apple or leave for VMWare or Airtable?

Apple ICT4: $210K base ~14% bonus (not written anywhere, but personal historical data points) ~$120K RSUs per year (~$480K unvested - including appreciation) TC: ~$370K/year Refreshers were around $80-100K per year VMWare Staff: $240K base 17% (supposed to be pretty solid to expect from what I'm hearing) $100K RSUs per year ($400K for 4 years) $40K sign-on TC: ~$390K/year (dividing sign-on over 4 years) Refreshers - probably around $0-50K - can someone confirm? Airtable L5: $210K base 0% bonus ~$1M RSUs with an option to take $40K as a yearly cash bonus $10K sign-on TC: ~$210-250K liquid / ~$460K if paper money becomes real at current valuation Refreshers - probably $0 - can someone confirm? YOE: 7. All in Bay Area. Trying to optimize for learning, growth and future prospects. No really learning a lot at Apple anymore, transferring teams is a pain and doesn't come with pay or title bump, ICT5 is unlikely to happen next year. VMWare team sounds pretty good (under UEM - can anyone chime in on their experience?). Lots of unknown at Airtable, so it can really shake out in every possible way; valuation seems pretty high My concerns right now: Apple: stagnating here, slowly making progress and learning very little - afraid of falling behind. VMWare: Dell-VMWare spinoff in early November and its effect on the stock price, company name (legacy? dinosaur? etc.), little to no refreshers (?). Airtable: paper money, high valuation ($5.7B, >60x revenue multiple), no refreshers or bonus (?), WLB, IPO timeline, insurance options + no ESPP or 401(k) match (which pushes Apple and VMWare a tad bit higher).
