> if you're not a manager I might consider that an associate. Maybe that's your personal definition. Generally, 'associate' is the title you will get if you get an entry level retail job. There's nothing 'wrong' with the title if that's what Apple internally called everyone. If they change it when you leave(specially if it turns out that they do that when you leave in bad terms), that's malicious. Ultimately, this means that: you say you are a Senior Software Engineer (or whatever title Apple internally uses); the new prospective employer tries to verify and it comes back as an "associate". i.e. they think your Apple experience was working some entry level job in one of their stores and you are trying to claim you were an engineer.
