Interviewing with Apple next week for the roles of Global Supply Manager (GSM) and Worldwide Procurement Analyst in Austin. Does anyone have any tips or advice for the interview? What kind of questions do they ask?
Also, what’s the compensation like in Austin specifically? I would think the compensation would be different than Cupertino. Anyone have any offers or salaries for these positions in Austin?

You need some leverage, and you won’t have much without an offer in hand. Some companies won’t mind as long as you’re near one of their hubs, so you should wait for the offer in writing, then act confused about the location and state your preference.
So I should negotiate after the written offer and not the verbal offer correct?
Also how do you say I should go about confused as HR told me over email that location would be in Atlanta lol.
Visa is pretty flexible about locations - for some offices. Both Atlanta and DC should be fine (IMO). I would just move forward but I don’t think it will hurt your chances if you ask now
It's actually for the Ashburn not DC office but they're close to each other.
I would probably try to secure the offer first. This is a really tough job market and if they are your dream company, I wouldn't want to risk it before getting an offer. Best of luck to you.
It seems odd that the location would change so dramatically. I mean, it's not like downtown versus the suburbs, that's hundreds of miles. If you're motivated to join the company definitely follow through on it, but definitely try to get some clarity about the location. Let them know your preference, that may influence where you go.
