Today a recruiter called wanting me to work at Apple on-site in Cupertino, but for maybe up to 12 months and as a contractor through his firm.

For the job they want a 4-year degree and 5 years experience, so that's a Senior/Staff Engineer, equiv. to Google L5/L6. I work as a Principal Engineer (L8).

Even for the lower level, this bozo was offering only 25% of market rate.

Then he asked how much I'm looking for. I told him "market rate at my level".

After wasting my time with essentially an insult, I'm not even going to help him with his research.
