Ever wondering if you’d be better off working for Apple than your current company? A job at Cupertino isn’t guaranteed to make you rich, but they do pay their talent fairly well, especially their engineers and designers. Here’s a list of some of the most common positions within Apple, along with their average salary, in ranking order.
Apple Store Genius – $38,937
Lead Genius – $38,353
Assistant Apple Store Manager – $49,176
Account Executive – $75,324
Financial Analyst – $81,523
Software Quality Assurance Engineer – $87,651
Business Analyst – $87,768
Systems Engineer – $94,119
Project Manager – $94,652
Mechanical Engineer – $99,900
Senior Systems Engineer – $101,794
Software Engineer – $103,883
Firmware Engineer – $103,985
Test Engineer – $104,926
Hardware Engineer – $105,316
Database Administrator – $105,382

Product Manager – $118,556
Senior Hardware Engineer – $124,893
Senior Software Engineer – $126,325
Art Director – $133,664
Of course, there are positions that pay more within Apple in the upper executive team, and of course principals like Jony Ive and Scott Forstall likely make a lot more money than these salaries. However, it’s worth noting that Tim Cook, like Steve Jobs before him, is probably the worst paid employee at Apple as far as mere salaries are concerned: he earns just $1 per year.

For those of you comparing your salaries to Apple salaries, remember the cost of living is a LOT higher in California.
