Meta is offering AI talent compensation packages that rival or exceed those of Fortune 500 CEOs. The move is shaking up the tech hiring landscape, sparking competition over the true costs of top AI experts.
The news comes amid an industry-wide fight for AI skills. Reports indicate Meta’s packages include massive salaries, bonuses, and stock options designed to lock down top-tier AI engineers and researchers.
The strategy is aggressive. Meta’s deals aren’t just about pay—they aim to flex the company’s muscle in the fiercely competitive AI arms race. 
This development raises fresh questions about the skyrocketing marketplace value of AI talent and the lengths companies will go to secure it.
Mark Zuckerberg and Meta’s leadership haven’t publicly commented yet. The industry will be watching closely to see how rivals respond.
