Dunno why people are picking on apple here… what I have heard from people who worked at Intel is that apple is known in the industry for, I quote, “turning Intel’s training pipeline into a waiting room for apple HR”. After working at Intel for two weeks you are highly likely to get an offer from apple for twice your Intel salary and a lot of people take it. Apple is basically known for paying far above market to retain the best talent, and apple silicon reflects that (or did during the last 10 years although supposedly there has been something of an exodus over the last few). Whereas it’s really Intel who is notorious for playing the “who can we get at 75% of the going market rate” game.
