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. :)

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.
