[quartz bloom]

no, peanuts pay, but high job security and stable stocks. ppl who work at apple tend to stay there for years

[fickle temple]

San Diego

[quartz bloom]

same but my role is not cool as urs so congrats again

[fickle temple]

Whats your role?

[quartz bloom]

software build engineer, sw delivery team

[fickle temple]

I dont think peanuts, if you have other offer you can ask more. But yeah job is stable and they dont do mass layoffs (as of now lol)

[quartz bloom]

my last interview for round 1 was delayed bc the guy was sick and he cancelled 5’ into the interview

that appl stock is lovely it never dies

[fickle temple]

Yeah the process is dead slow and recruiters never respond omg

[quartz bloom]

ur exp so ict3? lmk if u can share tc

fckin hate the recruiting process they basically went silenced from dec to mid jan for me after calling to move me to final i thought i was cooked

[fickle temple]

I was given ict2 with close to 200K TC.
Shocked to see ICT2, asked for ICT3 but was not given

[fickle temple]

They dont work at all from thanksgiving 🫠

[night sandal]

are u a grad student? if not they typically give ict2; also depends on if the req is for ict3 or ict2

[night sandal]

lmao facts

[quartz bloom]

oh nvm not peanuts then, levels.fyi is inaccurate for this one

[fickle temple]

Dec 23 grad and even though I had good amount of SWE exp, they looked for role related exp

I dont have anything to negotiate, so had to take whatever they are giving

[night sandal]

ahh i see; yeah apple is notorious for looking for perfect fits. i know one of the teams interviewed 21 people for 1 role and the person they selected ended up reneging lmfao

[night sandal]

apple is great tho, especially in this market. congrats on making it!!!
