Racism towards Indians
I have seen some posts asking how refreshers, bonuses etc work at Apple. 3 years ago I joined Apple at ict4 in Eddy’s org(before this I had 5 years at Msft) with 145k base, 180k RSU, 40k sign on. Next year with great review I got 30k cash bonus, 135k refresher and base increased to 165k. Then I got mid year 50k refresher. Finally this year I got 150k Rsu, 30k bonus and base is 180k. Apple RSU’s vest in 4 years, 1/8th every 6 month. Yes Apple pays low when starting but refreshers have been great and there is also cash bonus. I have seen similar growth with one other employee who is my close friend and had good reviews.
Wait, are you saying aapl gives refreshers twice an year? You said annual refresh and midcycle refresh. Haven't heard anyone who does that
Humble Brag Alert
So how much TC you’re making this year?
About 350k I would say.
Thanks for sharing. How hard is it to join as ict5? Is it easier if you are a manager?
It’s actually easier to join as ict5 then get promoted to one.
Depends org to org. You can get a bad manager who can’t keep his job and can’t push for a dime for mid year or full cycle. OP wants to brag doesn’t know what the rest goes through. Probably a recruiter having a hard time recruiting.
Not bragging. Just trying to spread information I know. Please don’t dismiss other people’s view as irrelevant.
You do know how unbelievable your story sounds right? I’m happy for you that things worked out. You got lucky. Rest of us have to actually work our asses off and still don’t get noticed or nowhere near that kind of money. If someone asked and this came as an answer that would be helpful or motivation at least. If you are self promoting hope it lasts as long as you think it would.
‘My Apple Compensation....’ lol
What's your org OP? And what are the good parts to join at Apple for an engineer
Eddy’s org which is services- maps, iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Pay etc. Lot of good stuff all around. Only point is you might not get great initial tc but refreshers are good.
How about wlb?
You should introspect more often. Truth stings man. My devious plans need this on my resume at the moment. Rejection is a state of mind. I do have a laundry list of things on all other companies but I’m not drunk on cool aid and never will be on any of those. You and me we are just cogs. Today is your day. If you want me to believe you make more money than I do then I want you to believe I work harder than you do.
Your example is definitely an outlier example both in terms of RSU refreshes and increase in base salary.
What’s your compensation?
My base is 180K and RSUs in the range of 70K-110K in last 4 cycles. The percentage of individuals within ICT4 getting similar RSUs and raise will be in the range of top 5% at most.
