I work at Apple as an IC4 with TC $220K in Data Science/Analytics. Been working with Apple 5+ years. Working overall for ~10 years.

The work has not been rewarding at all, and Apple has a terrible growth path in the field of data. I discussed this issue with my manager, but I feel ignored and I don't see any improvement no matter how often I exceed Innovation/Teamwork/Results.

I want to leave Apple, but not sure if I should do it now or bite the bullet and wait until my kid is born. Due date is Sep/Oct.

Curious to hear from new parents/soon-to-parents who are in the same experience/position. #parenting #jobhunt

    At least get your paternity or maternity leave

  • Use your parental leave first, you’ll have issues using it if you walk into a new company as a fresh hire.

    Stabilize your life during parental leave (you won’t be sleeping much) and browse for roles as your baby doesn’t wake up 3 times everyday in the middle of the night.

    Use your current time to prep.

  • Do you have offers now? Otherwise I’m assuming it takes 2-3 months to interview and start in a new role, so you’re already looking at September start date. Take advantage of whatever current benefits and opportunities you can, you can switch it up and start searching during parental leave

    Dm me for workday referral. We have excellent parental leave for both moms and dads. 12 weeks 100% fully paid which you can take as soon as you start. P4 DS/DA roles will beat your comp and you would be min P4

    If you decide to Internet m interview and get any offers, hold the news of pregnancy until you get a written offer. Then inform them. Good luck
