5G Architects Highest-Paid Among Internet Peers in China

With the growth of the 5G industry, talents in this field are in great demand and highly paid in China, said a survey on the employment status of middle- and high-end talents in the first half of the year released by Liepin, a job-hunting website.

The survey shows 5G architects are the highest-paid with an average monthly salary of RMB 42,800 among peers in the Internet sector. Their average payment more than doubles the average monthly payment of the Internet sector, namely RMB 19,047.

Meanwhile, as China works to boost waste sorting, demand for talents in this field jumped about 120% in the first half from the same period last year.

The average monthly salary for waste sorting back-end developer was RMB 16,667, followed by the monthly salary for solid waste disposal engineer at RMB 13,458.

Three cities reported an average monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan, namely Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

The survey was based on the website's job-hunting database.
