The Giants started a talent game in the Metaverse.

In the past, in order to compete with their peers for the arts, Wall Street companies had to dramatically increase wages, making their final year earnings one of the most lucrative.

And now the same fighting ability begins in the tech world, and the art of Metaverse is very popular.

As most tech companies are now planning to develop their own VR headsets, salaries for those who work with an AR / VR experience have increased.

According to data from Latest, the agency in December of last year,The salary of the job metaverse has increased tenfold.

The competition is tight but intelligence is limited, so in this "zero sum" game some people are happy and some people are worried.

Microsoft is injured

Microsoft is one of the pioneers of virtual reality, and its product, HoloLens, is already the most advanced technology.

But about 100 people left the HoloLens group last year, according to the Wall Street Journal. Among them are a few team leaders who have worked at Microsoft for many years, including Charlie Han, who specializes in collecting customer feedback for HoloLens, and Josh Miller, who worked in the Technology Utilization team. .

According to a former Microsoft employee, colleagues fought aggressively for Microsoft's Metaverse technology, sometimes doubling profits.

And Microsoft's special "takedown" here is Meta. In addition to the two previously mentioned, 40 of the 70 full-time employees left Microsoft to join the meta.

strong meta rush

The fact that Zuckerberg changed Facebook's name to meta shows that he wants to take over the world of the Metaverse.

According to IDC data, Meta's Oculus headset occupies the VR hardware market with a 75% share. Total sales last year are expected to drop from 9.4 million units to 13.6 million units by this year.

Therefore, regardless of the current state of the industry or future major plans, Meta is very reliable in recruiting.

Meta says:We plan to recruit more people to join the Metaverse program, and in the next five years the European staff will reach 10,000.

Meta has had significant benefits for the program, including colleagues at Microsoft who have lost staff. A former Microsoft employee said Apple also has employees jumping into the metaverse industry, but Apple declined to comment.

At the start of the Metaverse, VR headsets were meant to be a battleground for gamers. Meta has now become an integral part of tech, but can meta really take over the world after Apple enters the game?
