"Apple taught me how to own my work and care more about who's using the products I work on. I worked there in my sophomore year from May 2024 to August 2024 as an intern. It was a great experience, and it really aligned with my original motivation for getting into software engineering: to make things that people can use and help them in everyday life."
"They liked the amount of knowledge I had in coding for iOS apps, and I was interviewed for four different positions. After two to three rounds of interviews, I ended up on the Apple Fitness+ team. I was earning $42 an hour while there. But when it came time to start thinking about post-graduation employment, I didn't end up applying for an entry-level role at Apple. Instead, I accepted a full-time job offer from my most recent internship."
A 22-year-old computer science student interned at Apple Park from May to August 2024 on the Apple Fitness+ team, earning $42 an hour. The role emphasized ownership of work and attention to end users, aligning with a motivation to build useful everyday software. The main campus fosters creativity but is intentionally siloed, with secrecy and privacy creating a secluded environment. The intern chose not to apply for an entry-level Apple role after graduation and instead accepted a full-time offer from a different internship, prioritizing work-life balance and stability over Big Tech opportunities.
