Tomorrow is going to be a bittersweet moment for me as I'm giving my two weeks notice. I've been at Cisco 5 years having worked myself up to a G8 starting as a intern in college. I work in HR and have always known about this site due to my department but have never came here until today.
I'm not a technical engineer. I help develop tools the company uses to determine how much real estate they need.
I'm based out of RTP. Knowing Apple is coming I applied to their company to work out of the new RTP office, got contacted for a job, went thru the interview process, and accepted one this past week. I'm starting at 38k more base than I am at at Cisco and 55k sign on bonus in stock. Get to work remote for the time being.
The person who said you get a free iPhone and iPad every year is lying about that.
I don't feel guilty about looking to leave Cisco sooner but with Apple and Google coming to RTP I felt obligated to apply to both to see what happens and it just so happened Apple was interested. Can't undercut myself.
Don't want to see anyone get undercut.
