Unsurprising that it's a stressful job — but I'm sure it's also the best training in the world for how to manage a supply chain.

I wonder if it is, though - as noted, Apple is almost unique in that their size allows them to demand vast concessions from their suppliers. I wonder how much of what you'd learn still applies when you're working for a regular company and suppliers can just say no and drop you as a customer if you get to be too much of a pain?
