Have you ever wondered how much Twitter pays its employees? Although the company does not usually disclose these figures, thanks to data that the company is required to submit to the U.S. Department of Labor, which oversees visas for foreign workers, Business Insider has conducted an analysis of the salaries of employees at this popular social network.
Twitter, before Musk’s announcement of a hiring freeze, hired more than 100 workers at the beginning of the year who required visas to work. Salaries for all employees were recorded in six-figure amounts, although the data from the Foreign Labor Certification Office has some limitations, such as the lack of stock options that most workers receive, which constitute a significant portion of the total amount.
According to this data, Twitter offers a salary of around $100,000 per year for the position of analyst and over $200,000 for positions such as software engineers and managers.
According to positions, it looks like this:

These figures compete with salaries in other Big Tech companies whose data has been available since the end of last year.
Musk has closed the door to new people
Otherwise, Twitter had open doors for new talent until the entire saga surrounding Musk’s takeover. However, after the sudden and turbulent announcements that Tesla’s CEO would buy the network, Twitter announced in May that they were halting new hiring and the company began retracting offers.
Many predict that this is just the beginning of a more pronounced ‘tightening’ and layoffs expected with Musk’s takeover, although his $44 billion purchase is far from finalizing.
