Definitely stay to see your vesting through. That Apple stock cash could set you up really nicely. Depending on your life goals and amount of money you get from the stocks you could probably just do freelance and have a way better work/life balance.
Whatever you do, wait for those stocks bud
Oh my gosh I’m at the wrong job
Wtf remote acd role is paying 240k?
Ummm Apple.
More money, higher cost of living, lackluster work
VS
Still a lot of money, lower cost of living, and meaningful work
Do you need me to art direct this for you?
Infographic, please!
Are your stocks vested?
Wait for those stocks to vest, and if you’re still unhappy, leave with a pile of cash. Unless you can negotiate a signing bonus that would make up for it.
Seems like majority says STAY! 🤑 Now I’m wondering if the response would be much different if it was posted in the Creative Bowl? 🤔
I'm a creative and still, take the fucking money u dummy. Tech work is way more lax than agency side, you can go out and enjoy life. What kind of sicko finds self worth in ADVERTISEMENTS.

The taxes and housing is so expensive in Cupertino that you’re bleeding way wayyy more than the 30k difference.
Id definitely consider taking the 240, making cool work and buying a house abroad / in an up and coming lower cost of living US city (Austin, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Etc… even chicago is significantly cheaper).
But if you love the NorCal lifestyle I get it, it’s a fun place to be. Just do what everyone does and get a 50 year mortgage.
Enjoying the work more is a plus. The 30k you’d be sacrificing will be the equivalent of your yearly housing costs up in The Valley. So IMO is basically a wash there. Question becomes will new place be as good with raises long term.
Take the new job. $240 remote and happy more than makes up for that $30k. But on your way out, might you drop off my resume?
The remote role would be a CD.
I’ve taken similar pay cuts. If you want to live somewhere else or do something else, I really don’t think the $30k is gonna make your daily life noticeably different. Plus you’d get a CD title, right? You could always parlay that into a higher salary for your next move after the new job.

Take the money. Do other stuff with it that satisfy you.
Wait till your stocks are vested. Future you will thank you. More opportunities will come your way.
It will literally cost you 30k. What would you do with that 30k (every year) instead? Maybe think about investing that in personal projects that keep you creatively satisfied. I’d personally build myself a dope studio and work from there in my down time, writing music and then somehow eventually transition to make that my full time thing.
30k isn’t a huge difference at that level. I’d take the lower salary to pad my book
How long is vesting wait at apple?
4 years.
Totally unrelated but can I ask what you work on at apple? I’m a new art director hire starting in the next few months and looking for what to expect!
first world problems lol
Choose Apple. If there is room for growth then gut it out. You can make more money a year from now once your apple promotion happens.
It’s different topic, but can I ask you how I can be direct hired AD from Sr. Designer as a Vender? I totally understand the work at apple is really specific and it could be auto pilot at some points. I’m curious how you made a decision!
