I'm trying to decide between offers from Apple and Stripe, which are more or less equivalent compensation-wise, and was hoping to get some feedback on how to make a good decision.

No suggestions, but here are some questions I might ask myself if I was in your situation:

“Which position do I think best supports the kind of work/life balance I need?”
“Where do I think I will feel most safe taking risks and trying new ideas? Where do I think occasional failure is tolerated if it’s a stepping stone towards long-term success?”
“Which job has more potential for me to take initiative on assignments, rather than everything getting handed down to me by my boss?”
“Where am I more likely to be encouraged to voice my honest views and opinions?”

Those are some of the questions I would be asking myself because those are the kinds of factors I’ve found contribute the most to my long-term satisfaction and career growth. I hope some of them help!

Have you looked through their Glassdoor reviews? At Apple, I’ve heard product managers are part of marketing instead of Engineering. These are the things I would think through - what the culture is like, and is it what I want.
