Key Takeaways
- Following thousands of job cuts across four rounds of layoffs which started in November 2022, Meta leads the pack. In 2023, employees earned a median pay of $379,060—up from $296,320 in the previous year. Since 2013, founder and CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, has earned $1 in salary, but raked in $24.2 million in “other compensation” in 2023.
- Thanks to its booming share price which increased 239% in 2023, Nvidia’s median pay across 26,196 employees in 2023 increased 17% over the year, reaching $266,939.
- At Tesla, the median salary for employees falls significantly below the national median pay, at $45,811. The automotive sector is notorious for high wage gaps between CEOs and workers, with CEOs often earning 300 times more than the median employee salary.
- Amazon's median pay is much lower than other companies in this comparison because of the large amount of non-tech workers (e.g. fulfillment centers) employed by the company.
