Meta’s Median Salary: Above Average but Concerns about AI Investment and Efficiency Loom

According to a recent SEC filing, the median salary for employees at Meta was over $379,000 in 2023. This figure is higher than many other tech industry jobs and comparable to what competitors like Google and Amazon pay their workers. With approximately 67,000 employees, there is likely to be a wide range of salaries at the company.

While Meta’s median salary is well above the average tech industry position, it falls in line with the compensation offered by other tech giants like Google and Amazon. An analysis found that higher-level software engineers and researchers tend to earn more in base pay compared to other roles such as product designers and user experience professionals.

Despite the high salaries at Meta, the company has made significant job cuts in recent years and implemented a new efficiency plan to increase productivity, leading to further job cuts. Although Meta recently reported strong earnings, investors were concerned about the company’s plans to invest billions in AI technology.

Despite ongoing layoffs and changes within the organization, employees at Meta are still well compensated according to data from a recent SEC filing. However, concerns have been raised about the company’s focus on efficiency and investment in AI technology among both employees and investors alike.
