According to Dongcha Beating monitoring, it is rumored online that DeepSeek offered a pre-tax daily salary of 5500 yuan to an intern from Tsinghua University's Yao Class. Calculated based on 22 working days per month, the monthly salary exceeds 120,000 yuan. DeepSeek has not yet publicly confirmed this, and typically, the publicly disclosed daily salary for interns ranges from 500 to 1000 yuan.
The high salary to attract talent has also led to an inverted salary structure. It is rumored that if a newcomer's salary exceeds that of existing team members, multiple existing members must first grade the newcomer, and only those who pass the grading can proceed.
