Been interviewing with Apple and two teams are interested. The first one is an iOS engineer position and the second is a backend engineer position. The iOS position mainly involves developing and maintaining new features for an existing app already with a large user base. I’m pretty excited about the features and enjoy UI work in general. The backend position is on a team building services for a feature that isn’t as well established. The user base is much smaller but the upside of this is that I might get to participate in architectural conversations. Problems like scalability and architecture seems interesting to me as well and are things I want to learn more about (I haven’t worked with large scale backend systems before). I am leaning slightly towards the iOS position because of the scale and tangibility of the impact, though I am also a bit concerned about being locked into iOS development. I’m pretty early in my career and I do want to explore backend work at some point. Thoughts on one or the other? Both positions are in the same org and will likely have similar TC. TC: 125k, YOE: 1
