Holy I should become one too
Having been an engineer myself, good EPM support is something I wish I had earlier in my career.
You are focusing on the wrong thing and asking the wrong questions to help negotiate future offers. You already accepted the offer and joined the company. Discussing our current comp to get your next comp is moot since it is unlikely you will leave for lesser comp in your next move and your future employer can’t really ask you about your current comp numbers (assuming you stay in CA).
In the future, the best way to know your market rate and get the best comp possible for your interview performance is to get multiple offers, period. You should be asking for advice on how to land multiple offers around the same time.
At your own risk.
When speaking to the recruiter, they positioned me to make my initial salary request. They came back and upped the offer.
Normally, I’d think that meant I came in too low. However, based on my research, I thought my offer was ambitious. Plus, now that I’ve joined, I’m learning from colleagues that Apple was really after me. I was headhunted. So I’m wondering if my compensation is low/average/high
