Today we’re looking at over 72,000 local job data points to pull out and organize some top-line salary info on Baidu.
Our data today comes from one of the largest Chinese Job Platforms, BOSS Zhipin (BOSS直聘).
These large platforms seem to have the most relevant and abundant data points when it comes to the modern Chinese job markets. We’ll be sure to include the number of data points we have for each statistic we pull out. We’ll also be updating this annually to keep up with the newest salary data out there – this data was last checked (by a real human!) in March 2024.
Two things to note: 1) Baidu is a massive conglomerate that hires for hundreds of different types of positions, and 2) this data is for China-based salaries only – with the largest segment coming from Baidu’s headquarters in Beijing.
With that out of the way, let’s dive into some neat data on the average salary at Baidu!
