A senior engineer recently made headlines by switching from Apple to Meta for a massive annual compensation of ₹17.12 crore (approximately $2 million). The career move has captured widespread attention not only for the salary involved but also for the growing competition among tech giants to retain top-tier talent. While the identity of the engineer has not been disclosed, reports suggest that they will be joining Meta’s artificial intelligence division, a rapidly expanding arm of the company as it pushes further into AI-driven innovation.
This transition underscores a significant trend: Big Tech firms are aggressively investing in skilled professionals in the AI and machine learning domain. Companies like Meta and Apple are offering record-breaking packages to attract and secure talent, especially as they compete for dominance in next-gen technologies. The ₹17.12 crore figure includes base pay, bonuses, and stock options, which is common for high-level roles at this level.
This high-profile job change showcases the increasing value of expertise in emerging technologies and signals that competitive compensation remains a key strategy for talent acquisition among top players in the industry.
