Typically you will hear back in within a a few days with their "final" offer.The goal is to get the recruiter to take your counter-offer back to the team
The recruiter will likely push back and at Rorawe build a tree diagram unique to your situation with the most likely objections and the optimal responses to those objections. On that call you will disclose your counter offer.
You will then setup your second call with the recruiter to discuss the offer. If you know you will need 1-2 weeks to finish other processes, there are various time extension techniques you can use at this point. We recommend you ask for some time to digest the initial offer and consider the best point of leverage for your counter offer discussion. You should politely push back and set a realistic timeframe. In extreme cases, we've seen Apple recruiters attempt to force you to sign on an offer call or within 24-48 hours. When they do share the offer details, they will ask how you feel about the offer and sometimes they start to push timelines (e.g. Apple recruiters are notoriously pushy when it comes to asking you for compensation expectations. It is possible to deflect this (one tactic is to flip this back to the recruiter and ask for the range - referencing the California Pay Act) at which point the recruiter will either share the initial numbers, or tell you that they will follow up in the next few days with the offer details. They often use the call to push you to share compensation expectations. The recruiter will typically send you an email asking to setup a call. We've seen Apple take more than 45 days before extending an offer. If you don't hear back within two weeks, it doesn't mean that Apple will reject you, but it does often mean that they either want to complete interviews with another candidate first or have extended an offer to another candidate and are waiting for their response before extending you an offer. After completing your onsite interview, you will often hear back from your recruiter within a week. With that out of the way, let's discuss the process for Apple tech employees. One possible response is "right now I'm focused on the interview process and don't have a number in mind, but I'm confident we will be able to get to a number that works for both of us." However, it is in your best interest to deflect this question until Apple has extended an offer. Apple recruiters will sometimes frame this as "seeing if you are a fit for the role". Do not share your compensation expectations. California) it is illegal for companies to ask this, so you are certainly within your rights to say "I do not feel comfortable sharing that information". Do not share your current compensation. If you have not yet received an offer from Apple there are a few critical mistakes to avoid: APPLE PRODUCT MANAGER SALARY SOFTWARE
ICT6 - Principal Software Engineer (slightly more senior than L7 at Google).ICT5 - Staff Software Engineer (wide band usually equivalent to L6 at Google).
ICT4 - Senior Software Engineer (slightly more junior than L5 at Google). ICT3 – Software Engineer (slightly more junior than L4 at Google). ICT2 - Junior Software Engineer (equivalent to 元 at Google).
We've included a quick overview of the Apple leveling system below. However, this does vary by candidate, with one key vector being seniority. That said, it is clearly one reason to choose an Apple offer over a similar total compensation offer from a company like Amazon, which has basically no stock refreshers.Ĭandidates often find it helpful to have a high-level overview of the negotiation process. Unfortunately, it's tough to leverage this in cross offer negotiations as recruiters deem them too speculative since they are based on both your performance and your team. As you can see from these numbers, stock refreshers can be up to 100% of your base salary. Stock refreshers, similar to the initial grant, vest over a 4 year period. That said, here is a rough guide for ICT4 SWE: Note, stock refreshers are not perfectly correlated to rating as your manager has significant influence over the process. In order to be eligible for stock refreshers in a given year, you must have joined Apple before April 1st. For most teams, these are paid out 1x per year and are based on your performance rating (from 5-9). Apple is the industry leader when it comes to stock refreshers.
