It was reported that DeepSeek offered a pre-tax daily salary of 5,500 RMB to a Tsinghua University Yao Class intern, amounting to a monthly salary exceeding 120,000 RMB based on a 22-day work month. DeepSeek has not yet publicly confirmed this compensation information.

In publicly listed internship positions, DeepSeek’s typical daily pay ranges from 500 to 1,000 RMB. Regarding the issue of salary inversion triggered by high-paying recruitment, internet rumors suggest that if a new hire’s salary surpasses that of senior team members, multiple senior employees must evaluate and score the candidate, with approval only granted upon achieving a passing threshold. However, these details remain unverified and are currently circulating solely as online speculation.
