You get a bonus, and you get a bonus, and you get a bonus
The bonus amount for each qualifying employee will vary based on role and seniority, according to my sources. The highest payouts will be in the mid, single-digit millions for OpenAI’s most coveted researchers, all of whom already make millions per year. Engineers, meanwhile, are expected to receive bonuses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on average. The bonuses will be paid out every quarter over the next two years, with the option to receive the money in OpenAI stock, cash, or a mix of both. Roughly 1,000 employees, or about one-third of OpenAI’s full-time workforce, qualify.
That's crazy. The AI hype train is one hell of a train. Should've been an engineer.
