i saw a post by someone on here saying he was an engineer at apple. whether he was being truthful or not is another story. the thread wasnt info related and he wouldnt talk about anything so I guess its possible.
I plan on getting a job at my local apple store too, I know the supervisor or maneger (somthing like that) at the store. And I do know a great deal of alpple knowledge sontimes I thing I know more than so e of the guys that work there anyway. Lol
Apple employees can participate personally on forums like this. What they can't do is let it be know than they work for Apple, and they can't discuss anything about Apple that's not already posted in apple.com
Very cute post on wanting to work at the Apple store when you grow up. Just so you know, the weekend before launch I talked to an Apple Store manager at Arrowhead Mall in Phoenix, AZ, and he himself was unable to get an iPhone preordered, despite trying for hours.
So, sadly, they don't actually get the gear before the public does. I probably got one before he did, as I managed to sneak in a preorder on the 15th.
If all salaries were equal though, I think I'd rather work at an Apple Store than go to a mundane coding job day after day.
