apple and the other big ones are smarter than dramatically lowballing prospects. at the absolute worst you're just a bit shorter than what you could have negotiated but it'll wash out long term. don't lose sleep over it. only the small fries who genuinely need to cut every corner and are dumb enough to short the people building the very foundation of their company do it. or oracle.

So say I am in a LMO situation and all of my server side programming is effectively worthless on a resume. The only "real" programming language i know is javascript, which is sad as hell. Should I just pick python or something?
