    An engineer costs a lot more than that if they have health and life insurance and any other benefits through the company. Disclaimer - I don’t know if Apple employees have benefits.

        250k is probably below the average pay for an Apple engineer, not to mention other costs and benefits. ICT3 numbers (just above entry level SDE) are 230k and ICT4 are 340k. 500k isn’t that difficult at the more competitive software companies located in tier 1 and 2 markets. But yes, CEOs and E levels make far too much for their impact.
