Today we’re looking at over 173,000 local job data points to pull out and organize some top-line salary info on Huawei (华为 ). This GIANT Chinese company operates in over 170 countries and provides everything from telecom services to solar products.
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) Huawei 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 Huawei’s headquarters in Shenzhen.
With that out of the way, let’s dive into some neat data on the average salary at Huawei!
