Apple is a one of those companies that once you have it on your resume, it’s nearly a golden ticket to other companies. Depending on skills gained, you could command a lot more in the future. At the same time, $120K in SF, is it enough for now? $90K in Chicago would go a long way even before the bonus. What’s the growth trajectory at Slalom and exit opps if you chose to move on? All of this you have to consider.

In my mind, as a tech geek, I think it would be awesome to work at Apple at this current point in time and would absolutely do it. BUT I’ve also lived just long enough to know from experience that all that glitters ain’t gold, so I would have to take my inner nerd and do a deeper evaluation.

Exit opp from Slalom TO Apple is actually quite likely/common/lucrative. That market is deeply integrated with them and you can easily opt to travel for them if you really want to work with them.

Comp: $120k in SF is on the low end, but with stock options your total comp might be higher relatively than slalom.
Brand + exit opps: The apple brand is significantly better, and will lead to better opportunities going forward
Role: you haven’t mentioned anything about the role or your interests; that should be an important consideration as well
WLB: someone mentioned you should pick slalom because it lets you clock off at 40 hours while you’ll have to work more at Apple. I think at 25-26, you should be in hyper learning/growth mode professionally. Instead of looking at doing the minimum possible work to get a paycheck, you should be looking for the opportunity where you could maximize your learning.

Apple is great for all reasons mentioned above! However, their group to group interaction is terrible ( secrecy stuff) and they are very metric driven for performance

OP - Do you have a background in Industrial Engineering or any experience in supply chain? How did you make the transition? What is the stock comp if you don't mind disclosing for the role you have received?

Know a guy that went to Apple out of grad school as a manager in supply chain. Shot himself 3 months later

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
