Companies operating in the artificial intelligence field, particularly small startups, have begun offering annual salaries of $300,000–$400,000 USD to intern specialists. This approach indicates a sharpening competition for talent in the technology sector.
According to Business Insider, as reported by the editorial office, companies prioritize learning ability, participation in open-source projects, and hackathon experience over formal education requirements to attract suitable candidates. Employers evaluate potential and flexible skills as the main criteria.
Experts attribute this trend to the ongoing talent shortage in the information technology sector. Despite global economic uncertainties, companies are demonstrating their readiness to mobilize financial resources to attract the most talented specialists.
