The most interesting thing in AI Recruitment: The Finance Industry Struggles to Compete as Tech Giants Dominate AI Jobs Market 💰 💰 In the highly competitive AI jobs market in 🇺🇸, top salaries are being commanded by talent at generative AI firms such as OpenAI and Anthropic. OpenAI's ceiling hits a staggering $650k for certain roles, while Anthropic offers average salaries of $337k. Even though these figures reflect high base pay, total compensation, including bonuses and stock options, often significantly boosts the earnings above and beyond these figures! 🤯 While tech giants like NVIDIA and emerging companies in the autonomous vehicle sector, like Cruise, also offer lucrative salaries, finance lags behind. Hedge funds such as Balyasny and Two Sigma offer attractive salaries around $275k, but these are exceptions rather than the norm. Major banks like JPMorgan offer AI roles with salaries nearing $188k, but these often come with demanding expectations (like working 5 days a week in the office - remember that?) and regulatory challenges. The disparity in AI salaries across sectors is stark, highlighting the intense competition for top talent. Financial services are finding it hard to attract AI experts, who prefer tech companies offering both higher pay and more exciting opportunities. This gap indicates a significant challenge for the finance sector to stay competitive in the AI talent market. Thanks for everything and see you are work! ❤️ Chris Digitalent - AI & Machine Learning Recruitment
