Tech Salaries in China: What Top Companies are Paying Talent

Alright, so this study comes from a total of over 12.7 million data points! All of these are local and direct from some of China’s largest job sites.

Why not use data from international sources, you ask? When it comes to salary figures in China, we’ve found a big discrepancy in the data provided by most outlets. More info on sources used here can be found at the bottom of this article.

Here are some key organizational notes:

 – The jobs listed are in alphabetical order.

 – We’ve filtered out for top companies with the most jobs listed. Also tried to factor in and keep well-known brands (like these tech giants).

 – Similarly, we only included roles with a significant amount of data points. Java Developers topped this list with over 3.2 million, while UX designers have the smallest amount of data points at around 33.5k.

 – Because we are only displaying top companies here, not all of the 12.7+ million job postings are included. We do, however, break down most of these jobs individually in the Salary Guides section of our site. Please explore it for more!

 – The data are mostly job posts, or the publicly listed salaries companies advertise. These are not always the final salary packages awarded to employees.

 – Below each graph, we’ve added relevant resources for that specific job type and any top companies we may have covered.

OK, this one took me a while so please enjoy, and if you find all this organized data interesting – go ahead and share with your favorite neighborhood HR manager! 😁
