YoE: 13
TC: C$205k

Apple offered me C$284k average per year as SWE (probably ICT4). I tried to negotiate C$400k+ based on ICT5’s salary band, but they kept saying —“yOuR sAlArY cAn’T bE hIgHeR tHaN yOuR tEaM mEmBeRs”— bullshit!

Anyway, I accepted, signed the contract, finished the background check (w/ only two jobs), but for some stupid reason HR keeps asking me about all my previous jobs since 2009 because they appear in my resume.

If I wanted them to verify all my 13 years of work experience, I would have asked for C$1M+

Why is Apple’s HR delaying my start date? (multiple selections). Also, would anyone like to share a referral?

    If it’s listed in your resume then the background check needs to verify it. This is standard practice. Background company does the check and then internal HR compares those findings to your resume. Sounds like you’re trying to hide something or not being truthful on your resume.

  • Seems suspicious that you won't share your entire work history..

    • I’m really not sure why you are arguing with me or anyone here on Blind. Company A has offered you a job based on your 13 years of experience and set a level accordingly. Company A has every right to verify all the companies you’ve worked at during that 13 YOE to make sure your experience and level matches to what they are paying you.

      Some companies might choose to only verify last 5, some might choose to verify all 13 years. It’s their right

    I would definitely rescind if someone was being this combative. There is something being hidden or they’re going to be a problem working with others.

      True. I wonder why they haven’t rescind my offer after so many days. I guess we (Apple and I) should move on. Thanks.
