This is common knowledge. I'm one of the comments asking about TC, but I'm aware of all you've outlined, most people on HN have gone through negotiations before.
I was asking about TC in this particular instance given the following:
1. I have never worked for Apple (but I interviewed at big US companies for remote roles, and got to the TC negotiating round with a couple of big techs).
2. THis is a very niche role and requires very niche expertise and lots of experience.
3. The current state of the industry and how it has impacted comp at big tech like Apple.
I was hoping for a better insigh given all the above, not how TC works at big tech.
Thanks, but I wasn't asking about base pay, that's pretty much fixed depending on which level you end up hired at. I was asking about Total Comp given this is a very niche space and serious talent with experience usually commands significant TC and I was wondering how far Apple goes to attract such talent (especially given the current state of the industry, with layoffs and all).
I work remotely for a big US company and I have heard talk of similar plans within the company, offshoring entire products' engineering work to India. Luckily my work is very niche (vuln research). I can only imagine the subpar and vulnerability ridden code we'll be seeing over the next few years from all the offshoring + irresponsible overusage of AI tools.
