Hi,
I have these below offers. Can you suggest which one could be better (“adding your reasons would help in decision making if you something specific”)
1. Adobe
level: L4
Base: 210
RSU: 250
Bonus: 60
Annual bonus: 15%
Org: experience cloud
2. Apple
Level: ICT4
Base: 200
RSU: 300
Bonus: 50
Annual bonus: 15%
Con: manager is ex-Amazon :(
Org: IS & T
Tc: 250
Yoe: 7
Others not considering:
1. Thumbtack, Marqeta - (for both, did not feel the vibe and unsure of their growth personally)
2. stopped LinkedIn after phone (as their senior sounds like a downgrade)
Main factors:
1. aged 30+ already and may not have that mental aptitude to continue being an IC after a point. So, I am looking at balanced WLB (have family) and a feasibility of EM transition in future.
2. Resume factor for future prospects
3. Refreshers
4. Internal move feasibility (in case I want to stay eternally :) )
5. IS&T has a slight negative opinion from blinders. Worried about it too as the internal move in Apple appears like a total loop.
6. ESPP - Adobe has a 2yr locking, which is great if the stock continues growing

- it’s hard to move between teams (your current manager gets informed *before* you talk to other managers). And after that you do interviews
- WLB is a hit or miss. Mostly miss
- IS & T works on bad tech problems with a bad tech stack, and usually bad management
+ brand name
+ good refreshers
Adobe:
- weaker brand name, but then again no one would discriminate your profile coz you went to Adobe
- not everyone gets refreshers, generally lower amount too
+ almost always good WLB
+ not a cutthroat environment
+ great ESPP plan
Anyways, I am just trying to play safe.
Allegations can be made for anything, but if you keep learning and enjoying the IC work I wouldn't worry about it.
