BAT is the benchmark for major Internet companies and the dream of many programmers. In this article, I will summarize the job levels and salaries within Alibaba.
Alibaba examines the comprehensive ability of programmers from two dimensions, which are divided into technical level and management level: the technical level ranges from P4 to P14, and the management level ranges from M1 to M10.
Note that the above data comes from a video shared by a UP host on 2021-10-05. Although it is not direct evidence, according to my experience, the data should be similar.
Generally speaking, fresh graduates who have just joined Ali have a rank of P5, and can be promoted to P6 after working for 1 to 3 years, and code farmers recruited through social organizations also start from P6. At the P7 level, Ali will allocate stocks.
At present, the ranks with the largest demand in Ali are distributed in P6~P8, which is also the rank with the largest proportion in Ali Group. Generally speaking, Ali programmers who are well-known in the rivers and lakes are at least P8 level. The P10 level is the legendary master. Programmers at this level are well-known in the industry, such as Chu Ba and Bi Xuan.
During the campus recruitment in the autumn of 2021, people said that the annual package of Dachang code farmers has reached 35W, and Tencent’s cabbage price is also 40W. You see, this is not groundless, but real.
Annual Package
The above data refer to the annual package (also known as general package/annual salary) treatment. In addition to the normal salary, there are double salary at the end of the year, year-end bonus and stock.
Ali's salary structure is generally:
12 months salary + 1 month salary + 3 months year-end bonus = 16 salary
The extra month's salary is the so-called double salary at the end of the year. To put it bluntly, you will be paid two months' salary in December.
As for the three-month year-end bonus, only 90% of the people can get it, and there are no departments or individuals that fail in the performance appraisal. In addition, among the 90% of people, departments or individuals with outstanding performance may receive more bonuses.
As for the stock, it is used to reward the loyalty of employees, so it is generally restricted and needs to be exercised in years, and it cannot be obtained immediately. Ali stipulates that employees can only get it after working for 2 years, get 50% for the first time, and get all of it after 4 years.
Ahem, ownership and sale of stocks belong to personal income, and both need to pay individual tax, and the tax rate is very high, which may exceed 50% in total. It is rumored on the Internet that some high-P employee stocks in Ali have reached the highest level of taxation, and they need to pay 45% and 20% personal tax when they are vested and sold, respectively.
The tax rate when the stock is vested seems to be graded, and the tax rate when the stock is sold seems to be a fixed 20%. Note that I used the word "seemingly", which means that I don't know much about tax rates, I don't know for sure, I just heard some gossip.
Promotion
Only programmers with excellent KPI assessment will be promoted, otherwise the supervisor will not nominate. A debriefing is required for promotion and an interview by the promotion committee is required.
The promotion committee is generally composed of your immediate leader, the leader of the business department of the partner, HRG, and the leader of the business line you belong to.
A few promotion rules:
promotion to P8 and below level, the internal evaluation of the subsidiary;
promotion to P9 level, the group professional committee will conduct evaluation;
M is not allowed to nominate independently, M3 and below the company's one over one plus HR evaluation;
promotion to M4 Review by the Group Management Committee.
One over one plus HR, that is, the employee's superior, the superior's superior, and an HR person, the three jointly evaluate the employee's values based on the behavior-oriented interpretation of the "Six Meridians Excalibur". Only 50% of the staff's business assessment is accounted for, and the other 50% is based on the assessment of values.
This kind of assessment model, on the one hand, shows that Alibaba attaches great importance to values, and on the other hand, it also objectively helps Alibaba build a team with highly unified values.
For programmers who have just joined the job, it is relatively easy to be promoted from P5 to P6, and it will become more and more difficult to go up. Generally, P7 is the technical leader of the team.
It is a small threshold to be promoted from P6 to P7. Many people are locked in the upward path, because the step from employee to management is not easy to cross. First, your ability may be limited, and second, it may not necessarily leave you a hole.
Many fresh graduates will encounter career bottlenecks after working in large factories for a few years, because they cannot be promoted to expert positions or management positions. Sometimes it is because of poor personal ability, and sometimes because there is no opportunity. At this time, the best choice is to change jobs. Change to another company and continue to develop.
