Received offer for GSM role at Apple nearly 3wks after final interview. Is it safe to assume I was a back-up “tier 2” candidate, offered due to someone else declining?

After interviewing, I did some research, and the general consensus seems to be that GSM roles suck?

With WFH/RTO still kinda up in the air, doesn’t seem like a good deal with San Fran cost of living.

YOE: 9
Offer:
$165 Base, $40 Sign-On, $160 RSU, 10% Bonus

I wouldn’t worry about whether you were tier 1 or tier 2. I mean you got the job. They could have kept looking if they didn’t want you.

With that being said, I know GSM folks work ridiculous hours so be prepared to work 12 hour days and some weekends

Apple 1 - Thanks! That’s good insight/confirmation of what I’ve heard.

Is RTO “still in the air”? I think companies have lost that battle by now.

For Apple the expectation is that most “office” roles are now expected to be Hybrid 3 days in-office/2 days out, even if you worked completely remote for the last couple of years…

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
