Apple TC 380k snap (LA) TC: 450k YOE: 8
Yes for sure it’s more risky. But is it reasonable to consider potential upside as well? Like last year along snap stock went from $5 to $15. If I joined last year, the TC becomes ~900k this year. It’s an example of high risk high reward.
Snap has monthly vest and generous refreshers. Sell every month if you don't want to take risk. I would take snap's offer if you liked the team you matched to
Stay at Apple. Adjusted for risk, 🍎 comp is better. Snap is just another 💩 app.
+1, you can continue to interview and try to get FAANG
What risk? He could easily get another job.
man that snap TC seems really nice. LC be hard.
Wasn't aware Apple pays this much! Is it because of stock growth?
Not really. Apple pays a lot through yearly RSU refresh. The TC I listed does not include stock growth yet since it’s not sustainable. My W-2 for next year will actually be around 430k since Apple stock went up a lot recently.
Congrats on the offer! I would highly advise against Snap because they’re mostly young, less experienced, sexist tech bros. Not to mention the number of assholes I knew there. There was an occasional engineer architect from Bell labs or early engineers during the better days of IBM but everyone else was absolute trash. Something about Santa Monica that gets to people’s heads. Brace yourself for the LA traffic if you do decide Snap. Personally I’d stay at Apple for a few years, just look at its stock and compare it to Snap.
Do these people join pre IPO or post IPO? I heard things changed after IPO.
If you're good, come join us! If you want to chill you're better off staying at Apple.
Snap has probably the best standard refresher (for meeting expectations) in the industry.
I think it’s similar to my refresh at Apple (~180k yearly). I’m good performer but not tops ones. Top ones get 200k+. is it common to get multiplier (1.2x?) at Snap? I believe Apple ICT 4 maps to snap L4.
You are getting 180k refresher as ict4? Wow.
Do you want to live in LA?
Yea I like LA
Then go for it! That's a killer TC for LA.
