Having convos with apple for a senior copywriter role and they’re asking for initial salary thoughts but I have absolutely zero frame of reference. Does 160 base sound right? 20% in bonus and then 30k in equity every year??

Am I way off base? I don’t want to undervalue myself or go so far over they pull an offer.

Sounds close. I started last year as an acd and got 200k/yr, 50k sign-on, and 200k in RSUs (1/8 vesting every 6mths over 4yrs).

The base number seems on the higher end, but for Marcom not completely crazy. I’d start there and expect to land around 145 +bonus/equity.

What sort of things will you be doing? Is it creative or boring?

That’s great! I factor that in when looking at an offer. (If you’re excited about the work.) Hope it goes wonderfully!

Try not to give a number if you can. I think there's some references out on the web about how to negotiate with Apple.

If you do give a number first they may give you a number less than what you asked for so if that happens try to see if you can negotiate. They may or may not be able to move on the base salary but they could bump you up with the sign-on bonus or with RSUs which is still good.

Never hurts to ask! Good luck!
