OpenAI Continues Hiring with High Salaries for AI and Non-Tech Roles

Newly released H-1B visa filings reveal that OpenAI continues to recruit extensively, including international talent, despite earlier indications of slowing hiring. The company offers some of the highest base salaries in the AI sector, with research scientists earning up to $685,000 annually. These figures exclude stock awards and bonuses, which can significantly increase total compensation. OpenAI now employs over 4,000 people globally and maintains a stock-heavy pay model common in Silicon Valley to attract top AI professionals.
