Can Apple support turn off “Find My Iphone” for you? I need to turn it off for a phone trade it, but I don’t have access to the Apple ID for that phone. Submitted a request for access but it won’t take effect until 1/17, while I have to ship the phone out by 1/8.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.

Hi there! Interviewing w/Amazon for a non-tech role (Associate Category Manager aka Associate Buyer) and was asked what my salary requirements are for base+bonus+equity. Can anyone share insight on what Amazonians make in this role. I have 4 YOE and glassdoor is not very helpful.
Any feedback is appreciated 🙏 Amazon
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

If you don’t have equity after 25 years, leave. You should be wearing some massive golden handcuffs at this point.
I have worked for many private companies with RSUs. A long-time employee should 100% have stock.
If I could afford a risk right now, yes I would
Depends on how close I was to hanging it up. If I’m under 5 years to retirement I would slug it out and go out to pasture. If i have over 5 years and it was exciting and made sense long term then go for it. Esp if equity is involved and the company is moving to buy out

What’s the catch, trade off or difference? This would be my first question. If you’re just looking for something inspiring and a change of pace, do it! I loved working for a start up and it was so much better than corporate. But are you giving up time (extra hours), money (lower comp) or something else?
Overall - I’d go back to a start up in a heart beat as long as I could pay my bills. Equity is a good option to work into to comp, bonuses, and sign-on bonus are all important.
But (and I’m assuming here - we know how that can go), that you’re looking for something different, a change or a truly exciting challenge based on your VP role. My advise is do it, worst case scenario - you can probably get back into a corporate VP role if you needed to. 🤷🏻♂️
Sabbatical can only be taken twice min 10 years
If I wanted to, yes.
Not without a huge next egg
My brother got hired in a start up, and after 10 years they got bought up by a huge corporation, and when that happened everyone in the company at that time got HUGE company share pay outs, he became an instant millionaire, and so did everyone else in the company. So yeah I would.
