   This is exactly my concern! I have a senior on there, and I really worked hard to earn it. But now I worry that it will set too high expectations and make getting into a big firm much more difficult.

    Thank you for your insight. Apple is one of the few FAANG companies with a decent number of open vacancies in the UK at the moment. Can you tell me what you mean by shipped code? I've shipped plenty of code in my current job (none of i
