Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's competitive hiring practices involve significant compensation packages for AI researchers, including an offer to Andrew Tulloch valued up to $1.5 billion. Despite high stakes, recruitment from startups like Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab has seen little success. While Meta's offers include generous salaries, they often comprise stock options, which depend on the firm's stock performance. The rise in Meta's stock creates challenges for new employees since options may become worthless if the stock value drops, complicating recruitment strategies in a talent-scarce market driven by the pursuit of superintelligence.
Meta's offers to elite researchers typically range in the tens of millions rather than billion-dollar sums, often involving stock options as part of the compensation.
Zuckerberg's recruitment spree targets top talent from competing firms, offering substantial packages to attract candidates capable of advancing AI capabilities.
