The capital feast triggered by ChatGPT is still going on, everyone is talking about the AI technology behind it, everyone is worried about whether they will be replaced by AI, but few people have noticed the new jobs brought by this technology . Known as a Prompt Engineer, the job can pay as much as $335,000 a year, but doesn't require employees to hold a degree in computer engineering. For example, Anthropic, a Google-backed start-up, is hiring a “reminder engineer and librarian” in San Francisco, with a salary of up to $335,000.
The so-called prompt engineer, that is, the AI trainer, writes relevant prompts by interacting with AI to help users operate AI to generate more perfect content, and help companies train employees to use these tools. In short, prompt engineers are equivalent to a combination of designers, copywriters and programmers.
ChatGPT is a kind of LLM. Every time the user adjusts the question prompt, it is equivalent to doing prompt training for AI. As ChatGPT ignites the race among tech companies in the chatbot space, prompt engineers are in high demand.
According to a Securities Daily report on March 30, Zhu Fei, a professor at the Department of Organization and Human Resource Management of the Central University of Finance and Economics, told reporters that the emergence and wide application of ChatGPT has aroused great concern from the society and the market. Talent supply is still in a relatively scarce stage.
Technology giants such as Microsoft spend money to rob people
According to the Daily Economic News report on February 26, the reporter searched the recruitment situation of Microsoft and Google and found that in the field of large-scale language models, both companies are also stepping up their recruitment. Among them, Google offers an annual salary of US$174,000 to US$276,000 for the senior software engineer of a large language model.
Microsoft is not far behind. Typical base salaries for such positions range from $133,000 to $256,000 per year, according to previous job postings from Microsoft. In the San Francisco Bay Area and the New York area, such base salaries range from $173,000 to $282,000 per year (approximately RMB 1,203,400 to 1,961,600).
In addition to Silicon Valley giants, the demand for AI talents in the entire technology field abroad is also surging. According to CNBC, the job prospects of job seekers in the technology ecosystem are expected to rank first among all industries by 2023.
According to the latest data released by the American recruitment website Indeed, 8 of the top 10 most promising jobs in the United States in 2023 are technology development-related jobs, including full-stack engineers (ranked first), data engineers, cloud engineers, senior Product Managers, Backend Developers, Site Reliability Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Product Designers. Moreover, the salaries of the jobs mentioned above by Indeed are higher than the average level in the United States.
The reporter searched for the key to ChatGPT-related positions on Indeed, and found that the annual salary offered by the company is generally between 100,000 and 280,000 US dollars.
The birth of ChatGPT at the end of last year quickly set off a storm of AI revolution abroad. Scott Dobroski, Indeed's career trends expert, says the possibilities in tech have expanded beyond traditional tech giants to include retail, finance, professional services, travel and tourism, and more.
Domestic listed companies are also "crazy"
According to the news from Securities Daily on March 30, it was reported a few days ago that the research and development personnel of Wenxin Yiyan’s large-scale model team were “cracked up”, and the annual salary of employees with 3 years of relevant work experience can reach one million yuan.
According to the data of Maimai High Employment Talent Think Tank, the demand for AIGC talent recruitment will surge in 2023, and the number of AIGC positions released from January to February will increase by 35% year-on-year. Among the hotly recruited positions, the annual salary of image recognition, algorithm researcher, deep learning and other positions has reached one million yuan, and the annual salary of AIGC product manager for non-technical positions has also reached 900,000 yuan.
Talking about AIGC practitioners who have 3 years of work experience can earn a million yuan annual salary, Career International Business Director Jing Xiaoping told reporters that from past experience, it is normal for the AI industry to offer a million yuan annual salary. The phenomenon that one year of work experience can get a million yuan annual salary is driven by market demand. "When demand arises, companies are willing to recruit practitioners with relevant work experience at a salary that exceeds the market average, so that related businesses can be quickly established."
At present, a number of listed companies have revealed to reporters that they are recruiting or preparing to recruit talents in the AIGC field. In addition, the reporter found on an Internet recruitment platform that searching for AIGC can bring up job lists as long as several pages, and listed companies' recruitment needs in AIGC also have two-page lists.
For example, SenseTime Group, a Hong Kong-listed company, released a post for senior back-end development of web services. Engineering means ensure delivery quality and iteration speed.
It is worth buying in the recruitment of algorithm engineers (NLP/CV/multimodal), the job responsibilities are responsible for the content understanding of consumer information such as text, images, videos, and algorithm and technology research in the field of knowledge graphs; tracking cutting-edge technologies and engineering applications in related fields, Combined with business scenarios, explore innovative applications of artificial intelligence such as AIGC, etc. The monthly salary of this position is 25,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Kunlun Wanwei, a company listed on the GEM, offers AIGC algorithm researchers a monthly salary of 30,000 to 60,000 yuan. This position needs to follow up the latest developments and applications of AI generation models, and combine self-developed product needs, from prompt optimization, model Finetune and other aspects optimize the effects of AI painting, AI text generation, and AI code generation.
Zhongke Jincai AIGC digital human product positions are also being recruited. The job responsibilities include 2D high-definition super-realistic digital human, 3D super-realistic digital human, etc., with a monthly salary of 25,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan.

The relevant person in charge of Zhongke Jincai told reporters that the salary level of this position is managed and implemented according to the position level and negotiated in accordance with marketization.
Talents will develop in the direction of high-level knowledge, complex and younger
With the continued popularity of ChatGPT, what direction will the recruitment and talent structure in the field of artificial intelligence develop in the future?
According to the Daily Economic News report on February 26, the person in charge of Zhaopin said in an interview with reporters that the future recruitment trend will show the characteristics of high demand and rising wages. The first is that the demand for talents will continue to increase. At present, the level of automation, digitalization and intelligence of enterprises in every industry is constantly improving, and there is an urgent need for corresponding technical talents. The same is true for AI talents, which are expected to maintain rapid growth, especially for high-level positions.
Secondly, there is still room for improvement in salaries (in the field of artificial intelligence). It is expected that more companies will hire "top talents" with high salaries in order to seize the industrial highlands and build a technical moat.
From the perspective of talent structure, the future will develop in the direction of high-skilled, compound, and younger.
First of all, talents will be highly educated as a whole, and at the same time, the "top of the tower" will be completed. "The high-tech nature of the AI industry determines that it has higher requirements for the educational background of talents. In the future, talents will continue to be highly educated. In addition, the training cycle for AI talents is also longer. Later, as colleges and universities pay more attention to the cultivation of talents in related fields, more talents are being trained. More talents will go to the society, and the 'spire' of the talent structure will gradually be completed."
In fact, the above characteristics are all reflected in the current wave of recruitment. Every time the reporter checks domestic and foreign recruitment websites, it is found that companies generally require a doctorate or equivalent degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or related fields for such positions, and at the same time prefer experienced talents.
Second, compound talents are increasing. The relevant person in charge of the recruitment agency believes that, "With the interlaced penetration of artificial intelligence and metaverse, semiconductor and other industries, the market's demand for interdisciplinary talents will be stronger. In addition, from the perspective of the supply side, talents have a wide range of disciplines and professional backgrounds. Sexual characteristics, the trend of 'AI+X' multidisciplinary compound intersection is obvious."
The third is to develop younger. The "2022 Employment Relationship Trend Report" released by the agency shows that the post-00s and post-95s have a higher relative proportion of mentioning artificial intelligence skills in their resumes, and they will become the mainstay of the AI talent market.
This point can also be seen from OpenAI's ChatGPT R&D team. In terms of the age distribution of the team members, the post-90s generation is the main force of the team. Among them, there are 28 members in the age range of 20-29, accounting for 34%; the number of members aged 30-39 is the largest, accounting for 61%; in addition, there are 3 people in the age range of 40-49; 60 Over 1 year old only. The average age of the research team is reported to be 32 years old.
It can be seen from the personnel flow of OpenAI that big factories are no longer the first choice for top talents. Among them, many come from top or well-known technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, etc., 10 of them joined from Google, and 1 of them once worked in Baidu.
The explosion of ChatGPT has brought AI talents back to the public view. In the future, it is bound to set off a new round of talent competition.
