    Apple doesn’t really have official job titles that map to its job levels. So you will end up with different answers (and they could all be “right”).

      The bar is different... even by team or org. The company isn’t extremely structured in that sense and gives a lot of autonomy in that regard (good or bad).

      There is a consistent job level (ic vs ict and 3-6) and how that maps to pay, bonus, etc (the ranges are similar). But how that’s applied varies.

      If you shared the org, we could at best guess if it maps to ICT5 but based on YOE and title, it would be reasonable that the level is ICT5– but also can technically fall under ICT4 (given the large pay bands between them).

    • The org is MQM (Manufacturing quality management)

    You are free to map it to whatever you want.

      It’s not an official company wide job title as far as I know. So some teams may map it differently.

      It is not a widely used title right? A lot of companies don’t have such title officially, and they have their own naming conventions.
      It will be determined by your interview result and your pay range.

    As long as you get the money you want and scope of work you want, do you really care about leveling or title?

    Title and leveling varies company to company

    Are you interviewing? Depending on the orgs, the answer is different. My guess is you are going to be ICT4.
