🔥 Meta just poached 11 Ai superstars for $200M+ each.
So I shamelessly stalked their profiles to find the "secret sauce" for a $200M payday.
Here's what I found:
1️⃣ Being Chinese helps, a lot.
7 out of 11 hires are Chinese, most coming from Tsinghua University.
(Quick, enroll your kids now!)
2️⃣ They’re young!
Mostly mid/late 20s or early 30s.
(Except for the few older, non-Chinese folks 😅)
3️⃣ Minimal work experience.
Many joined OpenAI as their first full-time job.
Now onto their second job, casually upgrading to multimillionaire status after just 2–3 years.
(I guess updating their CVs didn't take long 😆)
4️⃣ Zero LinkedIn hustle.
Few connections, no posts. Some not even a profile photo.
(When Zuck calls your cellphone, you don't need referrals 😋)
5️⃣ Speak only 1–2 languages.
I thought geniuses spoke 3+ languages.
Apparently not, most "just" speak Chinese and English.
(I guess no time to waste here)
Here's THE LIST, in case you're curious:
Trapit Bansal
Shuchao B.
HUIWEN Chang
Ji Lin
Joel Pobar
Jack Rae
Hongyu Ren
Johan Schalkwyk
Pei S.
Jiahui Yu
Shengjia Zhao
The lesson?
I'm doing it all wrong 😂
What surprised you most about this Ai dream team?
