    Got an offer after giving interviews since 20 months for 100+ teams at Apple. 13-14 rounds is absolute bullshit for a candidate who might leave for better offer or is not worth that rest of the better candidates. Even the offer won't be upto market standards if there isn't any competing offer.

    YOE: 11 TC: ~38 L Base + RSU Recieved an offer today. Help me evaluate. I don't have any competing offers. Offer: INR 47 LPA Base + (168k RSU USD) + 10% Annual Bonus + Relocation Cash Allowance around 5L + Relocation Benefits as appliable I am not sure of how to negotiate considering I don't have any competing offers. I am mostly thinking of asking for 55+ base atleast, but I don't think they'll take it. After a research online, Apple Base Pay is not a WOW factor.
