Got an offer from Apple for ICT3 (SWE, TDG org). Based in Bay, but starting remote of course. I live in North Carolina. 3.5 YoE.
Base: 140k
RSUs: 150 vested over 4 years
Sign-on: 30k
Bonus: 10% on average
I really love the team and the role, but have no competing offers. Current TC is 180k base & 1% equity at a series B startup. The 1% is paper money and I’m not confident in the startup’s success.
Can I ask for an increase in base/stock and sign-on? Or can I only pick one or two? Could definitely use your help!
Interview process was lengthy as hell. Phone screen (LC medium + multithreading on iOS). Then, a tricky take home assignment.
7 on-site rounds all focused around LC med/easy, concurrency, Swift language specifics, API design, memory management specifics on iOS, unit/integration testing, design patterns, app architecture, code refactoring, lots of behavioral questions around cross collaboration, past work experiences and projects.
Very comprehensive interview that wasn’t just about cranking LC, but also heavily emphasized sound software engineering practices, communication skills and thoughtful approach to designing APIs. This is my 3rd onsite with Apple. Each team has its own way of interviewing it seems.
It was absolutely exhausting so I’m very excited to see it through. Just want to land on some higher numbers. Hope I’ve provided sufficient detail here.

Congrats, offer is good for ict3!
I would take it if team and work are good.
I have onsites coming up for iOS engineer role in Apple. Could help me on what kind of questions were asked in terms of designing APIs, app architecture, testing and refactoring? I haven’t faced such kind of interviews yet, and it would be so helpful if you could guide.
Yes, I’m switching roles
