OpenAI poaches investment bank talents with high salary: annual salary of 1.39 million plus equity, using AI to reshape Wall Street OpenAI is increasing its layout of investment banking business. The latest recruitment information shows that the company is looking for investment banking professionals with more than two years of investment experience to join the San Francisco applied artificial intelligence team as "subject experts." The basic annual salary of this position is US$185,000, with a maximum of US$205,000 (approximately 1.394 million yuan). In addition to the salary, it also comes with equity incentives - considering that OpenAI has privately launched IPO preparations, the value of this equity is self-evident. Instead of asking investment banking elites to use AI, we invite them to "teach" AI. OpenAI clearly wrote in the job introduction that candidates need to have in-depth and cutting-edge knowledge of the actual operation of investment banking business, covering company and industry research, financial analysis and modeling, valuation, due diligence, transaction execution, and the preparation and review of customer information. More importantly, candidates must clearly understand the work content and decision-making logic of positions at all levels from junior analysts to directors, and accurately distinguish which business links can be automated by AI, which are suitable for AI-assisted decision-making, and which must be retained for manual review. This description outlines a special role positioning: instead of asking investment banking elites to "use" AI, they are asked to "teach" AI to understand investment banking business. The incumbent will collaborate in depth with the product team to explore the most valuable implementation scenarios of AI in investment banking, build new business process prototypes relying on OpenAI self-developed tools, and verify whether the initial results meet the needs of real practitioners. In short, OpenAI wants to set "quality standards" for AI-enabled investment banking business. Giants are vying for Wall Street, and the AI ​​enterprise-level market is full of smoke. Behind OpenAI’s recruitment is the fierce competition among major AI companies for the lucrative enterprise-level financial market. In May this year, Anthropic launched ten new intelligent tools to simplify various basic repetitive tasks on Wall Street. In its promotional materials, it positioned the financial services industry as the second largest industry in terms of corporate revenue after the technology industry. Competitors' layout is quite deep. Anthropic relies on the "Glass Wing Project" to open the preview version of Claude Mythos to a group of designated institutions. JPMorgan Chase is an early partner. Currently, the project has expanded to 15 countries and more than 150 companies. OpenAI is not far behind. Goldman Sachs has invested in its deployment business subsidiary and became a co-constructor of OpenAI's "Trusted Network Access Plan" in April. Major investment banks themselves are also increasing investment in AI. JPMorgan Chase has an annual technology budget of US$18 billion, with its core investment in artificial intelligence; Goldman Sachs
