ByteDance raises pay, bonuses to compete for global AI talent

ByteDance announced pay and bonus increases as global competition for AI talent intensifies.

The company will raise both the upper and lower limits of staff compensation.

Its total bonus pool for 2025 will rise 35% year-on-year, while spending on compensation adjustments will increase 1.5 times.

ByteDance will also increase the cash portion of pay, reduce stock-based awards, and shorten equity vesting from four years to three.

The company is streamlining its job-grading system to 10 levels and redefining capability requirements at each level. A Maimai report showed ByteDance led tech recruitment in China this year, with AI-related job listings up 543%.
