| I'm not the person you asked, but I don't think where it is matters as much as where it isn't. It isn't at Apples headquarters. |

| I don’t think the author meant it as an insult to Poland. Apple is unusually centralized (they don’t even have different business units; the company has a single balance sheet at P&L) and corporate level decision making is pretty much all done by the same small team at the mother ship. So while all sorts of decisions are made locally, a hire outside Cupertino (which all of Poland happens to be) is extremely unlikely to signal a corporate shift. Even a job ad for a role in Los Angeles would be equally unlikely to signal such a shift. |

| It's a long way from their headquarters, a massive time zone difference at least. I don't think they're working on something that needs the direct attention of leadership. |

| > This role is based in our new office in Bielsko-Biala, Poland. Out of all the places in Poland, this choice is pretty strange. :) |

It’s not some “paper HQ” for tax purposes, either - they have over 6000 employees there and are easily the largest private employer in Cork. | | | |

| I think the OP is trying to say if it was in Cupertino, it would be more of an event. Just like Amazon posting for this position in Phoenix wouldn't be seen the same way as Seattle. |

| ▲ | Andrex 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I disagree. It was relevant, succinct, and meant to inspire introspection leading to positive change. | | |
| ▲ | tomhow 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | It was unanimously downvoted and attracted community flags, which is why I saw it. Others found a way to respond with substance, whereas yours seemed like snark. I can understand you didn't mean it to be seen as a low-quality comment; few people do. But I'm bringing to your attention that I, and others in the community, read it as the kind of comment that is not the way we want to communicate here. |
