Big Tech firms are in a fierce battle for AI talent, exemplified by Meta's offering of multi-million dollar signing bonuses, including up to $100 million for top engineers. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted this trend, emphasizing Meta's aggressive recruitment efforts after losing key personnel and facing criticism for its AI capabilities. The company is not only offering large bonuses but has also initiated a 'Superintelligence' team under Zuckerberg's direct involvement. However, the competition for elite talent is detrimental to entry-level opportunities, as junior hiring decreases amid this escalating talent war.
Meta has been aggressively going after the company's top engineers-offering eye-watering compensation and multi-million dollar signing bonuses, totaling $100 million.
Meta has lost several of its top AI researchers in recent years and is fighting a narrative that it has fallen behind in the AI race.
Zuckerberg has reportedly led the push for a 50-person 'Superintelligence' AI team, reflecting the company's commitment to its AI recruiting drive.
While none of Altman's best people have decided to join Meta, the company has still managed to attract other prominent AI researchers.
