Wireless systems/firmware opportunities at Apple BayArea

Has Apple completed hiring for 5G/WiFi teams or has lowered the hiring rate generally? I have an oral offer and I really want to have the chance of interview with Apple before moving forward. I am specifically comparing with 4/5 months ago that I started practicing for interview. There were bunch of openings at that time but I was not ready at that time but now that I feel better there is just few. Murphy's law 😁 I have PhD with 4 yoe in Bay Area and I could only find some opportunities for senior levels (7+ or 10+). I have experience in system level simulation, system C, DSP/RTOS firmware of LTE and WiFi systems. Any hint/comment/recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

I know you're in Cisco, but have you checked Meraki? They have some interesting open positions at this level.

Did you happen to interview? If so, can you please post your experience??

I have long story but maybe not able to share the entire the whole. The short answer is, no. I got an offer from Qualcomm at that time but I didn't go because of better counter offer from cisco. I have started interviewing again after few months because of this uncertainty over the air. I can see some positions fit to my background but I think those are just fishing persons with specific skills.
