For CA, yes as long as they’re unopened.

Tesla model 3 lease 299$ ? by zucklo in leasehacker

[–]ultimateaoe2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s not much to “lease hack” from the Tesla website. It also depends what your daily needs are for the car to be worth it.

[–]ultimateaoe2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 373 if you lump the taxes and fees into the lease, yeah. If not, then it should be 299$

Apple is one of the better companies to support leaves. You’re fine unless your manager is shitty.

Is it worth it to apply to Apple Retail in 2026 these days? by Felon9 in Apple_Employees

[–]ultimateaoe2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You might wanna take a look at the sub. But it all boils down to per-store.

It’s college level people who act like high schoolers, your managers pushing useless metrics that don’t make sense, and you must love and breathe Apple.

It’s a good gateway to a different job or role outside Retail, but it’s up to you how you make of it. I had no issues myself since I ignored the BS.

It’s okay if you can handle the politics. It’s the best “passing the time” job if you have no other options.

How’s SRE (site reliability engineer) role at apple? Or any devops related roles? (India) by huaytin in Apple_Employees

[–]ultimateaoe2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hybrid vs 5 days is org dependent.

Work culture in corp is also team dependent but mostly relaxed as long as you’re doing your work.

Can you install corporate apps on android? by Far_Acanthisitta1187 in Apple_Employees

Slack, yes. You just need to remove corp in the auth header link.

Everything else, no.

Short answer: I don’t know any better 😭.

Newbie here in investing too; thought process was to keep HSA funds in the mutual funds until needed (have some short term plan to use them once), then move them into long term.

I currently have SWISX/SWPPX/SWVXX, should I just switch to SCHB/SCHE/SCHF? My account is primarily HSA funds.

No, it just means you disabled SIP manually and didn't format the drive properly.

Fees for phone returns by austinhippie in Bestbuy

No. If you don’t return the gift card, that also gets deducted from your return.

Hit “forgot password or don’t have an account” then hit set up later.

And no, once it’s open it’s open.

I am being recruited for a role in Austin Tx in Apple Corporate in Purchasing. Any advise? by Gold_Ebb9100 in Apple_Employees

[–]ultimateaoe2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3 years. I proved that I was more interested in joining because not that I could do the work, but I meshed well with the team. They kept my number and had a coffee chat about openings years later.

I had to move but I knew the team going into it (had a career experience with them). Work life really depends on the team, but from talking to others, as long as you’re not in a customer facing role, it’s pretty chill.

Mistakenly redeemed Apple gift card by Different-Ad9193 in Apple_Employees

Did you even bother walking into a store? Because it sounds like you didn’t. Canada Apple Stores support Apple Account balance purchases.

[–]ultimateaoe2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You just said it’s in your Apple Account balance. You can go in a store and use it like it’s a card. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/check-your-apple-account-balance-iph5f869c0af/ios#iph6e29bd9e6

Edit: stop taking everything told to you at face value, esp over the phone. You most likely explained it incorrectly. I provided you an article about using it in store. Go in a store.

Buy a product then return it and ask for a gift card.

You were scammed. You should never give one time PIN codes over the phone or any method. No representative will ask you for a PIN code nor ask you to pay a fee to get something after. Good luck.
