Last week, I was promoted from L1 Support Engineer to Manager of Technical Support.
In late 2023, I made the switch from basic e-commerce support into support engineering.

I’ve done it all while also homeschooling my older three kids and keeping the younger three home with me too.

Is it easy? No. Our day is extremely structured.
But it’s been a blessing to be able to do it all and work for a company who cares.

This bowl is a huge part of the reason I gathered the courage to do it. Thank you.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

Please evaluate this initial offer for Apple ICT3. I think I was low balled, but I want to take more opinions. Currently Sr. MTS at VMware, received Apple ICT3. I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.

Received offer
Base: 185k
Sign on: 40k
RSU: 160k/4 years (Here is where I think it is low)
Location: Cupertino,CA

Current TC
229k

YOE: 3.5 years US / 6.5 overall(similar roles)
