After 8 months of preps, job searching, interviews, and failures, I have cleared Apple’s interview loop. They made an offer and I’d love for blind community’s help in evaluating it.

YOE: 13

Final Offer components:

Level offered: ICT4

Base: $225k
Bonus: 10%
RSUs: $465k over 4 years
Sign on Bonus: $100k over 2 years


Current TC: $425k (due to higher bonus 20%, stacked RSUs, and stock performance) . I am reaching cliff early next year.

Recruiter says RSU refreshers are “generous”. Does anyone have insight into what range “generous” translates to?

Anything worth appealing?

    For non software, that's a great offer for ICT4. Base, bonus, rsu, and sign-on are all near top end... Maybe some room in rsu but then you're pretty much getting firmly in ICT5 range I think.

    Refreshes for rsu for ICT4 from what I've heard is in the 80-120k range, mostly around 100k. Depends on org, I'm not sure about media products.

      Vested over 4 years. But you get refreshers every year. So say you average 100k for 4yrs straight after joining... After 4yrs you'd be vesting 100k each year (25k for each year)

    Saw a recent offer with 210k base, 700k RSU, 10% bonus, 110k sign on in first two years for a high end ict4. So maybe still have room to raise.

    That’s a great offer. I was a iPhone hardware ICT4 and my TC wasn’t even close to that. “Generous” means they’ll decide later how much they want you to stick around.
