Lol if you think they make that much at Apple. But the original point stands. They should be able to get good paying jobs somewhere.

  300k is roughly the levels.fyi estimate for Apple, level ICT4 (which is considered a slightly lower level than Google L5, Facebook E5). Why would engineers in a highly sought-after field not make that much at Apple?

    You'd be surprised how low pay is in sought-after fields. Everyone wants in and accepts less.

    Apple is not known for high pay. Employees get little plaques that say “the journey is the reward.” And your 300k from levels.fyi is not base salary. Base salary is listed as 180k, more in line with reality.

      There's no difference between RSU and salary compensation except that one only comes twice a year.

        Vesting?

          Sure, you don't know exactly how much it'll be, but you can expect it's gonna be pretty good. I suppose it's also harder to get the value into your 401k.
