Skyrocketing salaries and secretive recruiting efforts have taken over Big Tech as the AI talent wars heat up, with companies including Meta, Google, and Microsoft vying for employees by offering highly competitive compensation.
A key player in the battle is Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who reportedly offered Andrew Tulloch, an AI researcher, a compensation package worth as much as $1.5 billion over at least six years.
