It seems that ByteDance denied it. A former researcher from DeepSeek said that the report about being hired with an annual salary close to 100 million yuan is actually false, according to an executive at ByteDance.
This news has been trending recently, but in reality, the compensation system has been consistent. It’s a combination of cash and stock options, with the options fully vested over four years. All engineers on ByteDance’s Seed team apparently follow this system.
It seems true that Guo Daya joined ByteDance, but since the specific salary amount has not been disclosed, it’s unclear where the figure of nearly 100 million yuan in the report came from. Such ByteDance news can sometimes be exaggerated, so without a trustworthy source, it’s hard to judge.
