Meta poached former Apple manager Ruoming Pang with a compensation package in the hundreds of millions of dollars, marking a new compensation high in the AI talent wars. Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Meta offered the former Apple distinguished engineer a pay package of more than $200 million across several years. Bloomberg noted that Apple decided not to match Meta's offer because it substantially surpasses the pay typically offered to top Apple executives. Other major Meta hires for its superintelligence team are being offered similar pay packages, per Bloomberg. Meta stock was up over 20% year-to-date at the time of writing.
