TikTok salaries revealed: How much the company pays for key US jobs in engineering, product, data science, and more

TikTok has become a household name in tech and media.

Its user base exploded in 2021, passing one billion monthly active users globally, according to the company. And it's been staffing up to meet growing demand.

While current and former TikTok staffers have described the workplace culture as high pressure, with roles that can demand working outside of normal business hours, the company continues to attract applicants in cities across the US.

TikTok conducted some layoffs earlier this year as it restructured its advertising team. It also let go of a "significant portion" of its Russian workforce in late December. But the company is still hiring, with more than 1,300 US job openings currently listed on its website. The company has plans to nearly double its staff at its Mountain View office, The Information reported.

The mounting political pressure against TikTok — its parent company, ByteDance, is based in China, which has raised concerns about user data privacy on the app — hasn't yet dampened the short-video platform's popularity in the US.

In fact, its rapid growth has led competitors like Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat to roll out copycat features. And TikTok has begun to hit its stride with advertisers who are now taking it more seriously as a marketing platform.

Insider analyzed hundreds of disclosures released by the US Office of Foreign Labor Certification on work visas to shed light on what TikTok and parent company ByteDance pay for certain roles.

The public data show how much the company offered to pay foreign staffers it sought to hire in the US for jobs including product, engineering, and data-science roles.

They include wages from 1,135 TikTok and ByteDance foreign-labor applications from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2022.

The bulk of the applications were for roles based at the companies' Mountain View, California offices, but there were also positions based in other California cities; Washington; New York; Virginia; Georgia; Texas; and Washington, DC.

The ByteDance staffers included employees who focus on corporate-support functions like finance that could apply to any division or product within the company (which operates a multitude of apps and products globally), while TikTok employees focus on TikTok-specific roles in areas like product development and growth marketing.

The wages in the disclosure data are the minimum amounts the company declared in foreign-labor-certification applications to pay specific workers, according to US Department of Labor documentation.

Companies may choose to pay employees more than the figures reflected in this data or compensate them in additional ways, like through stock options and grants. TikTok, for example, also offers stock options to some of its US-based employees as another source of compensation.

Based on the data, TikTok and ByteDance offered from late 2020 to late 2022 base salaries ranging from $29 per hour to $438,000 per year for various roles.

TikTok did not respond to requests for comment.

TikTok's career site currently lists seven different job categories that candidates can apply for: product, design, sales, marketing, corporate functions, research and development, and operations.
