Im sure "uproot your life and dedicate it to Apple" isnt on the job description and apple is very flexible with this stuff. You think all 164,000 apple employees live in silicon valley?
But they don't do the same thing in every office location. Certain offices are only niche locations stemming from the other HW companies they acquired over the years. Apple si super diverse with what it does.
So depending on what job you'll want to do at Apple you might have to relocate.
Apple logistical hubs for shipping and rando 3rd party acquisitions are one thing, but if you're working on a main-effort product you're either in Austin or SV.
You're doing RTO, and you're signing NDAs out the wazoo.
Helluva opportunity if you're young, but I'm in agreement with the parent posters that it's not the end-all, be-all. I'm far enough along in my career that I don't need the prestige line on my resume, and 100% remote somewhere I want to live is worth far, far more to me.
