Another employee who has worked at Pinduoduo for more than two years also said it was true.

This year, spurred by the epidemic, the community group-buying business has developed rapidly, which is why Pinduoduo is obsessed with the business of “buying food”. It is indeed a bit rude for pinduoduo to force its employees to transfer their posts if they fail to recruit new employees.

80W start digging front-end, 100W annual salary recruit Java

Since to vigorously get people, wages must also keep up, according to data, Pindong Duo, Didi and other companies are offering high salaries to hire people, the least increase of 30%, up to even reach 200%~300%**.

Pinduoduo launched a new business called “Duoduo Buy Vegetables” in August. According to the recruitment website, a front-end engineer can expect an annual salary of $80,000-126,000.

The treatment of the back end is not to mention, this salary is really too sweet, it is not difficult to see that the big factory is robbing people on the bottom of the cost.

Financing + enrollment expansion, the United States “buy vegetables” is also hot

Fresh startups in the US are riding the wave of fresh demand, which is also due to the pandemic.

Sonic+, for example, saw sales increase nearly sixfold between August and June and recently raised millions of dollars for an undisclosed amount.

Instacart (Instacart), GrubMarket (GrubMarket), Weee (Weee), DoorDash (DASH) and others are also on the rise, with Both GrubMarket and DoorDash reporting imminent IPO filings.

What’s more, these “up-and-comers” also pay well, with DoorDash’s total package for entry-level SWE reaching 193, which is higher than Google’s 187 and Facebook’s 179.

For students who have not yet landed, the aggressive fresh food e-commerce company is a very good choice for job hunting, the reason is very simple:

Meituan and Pinduoduo, two Chinese unicorn giants, have jumped into the “vegetable selling” business, and their stock prices have soared. ** Meituan shares have risen from HK $200 to about HK $300, while Pinduoduo shares have risen from US $90 to us $140 today.

Of course, this year’s epidemic has contributed to this, but in the end, food is the most important thing for people, both at home and abroad. This market is still a “blue sea” to the present position, waiting for the giant.

Already listed companies, even if their business has nothing to do with “selling vegetables”, but as long as they are willing to spend a lot of money, they can break out of another “way to make money”; Some pre-ipo companies are also eyeing the pie, jumping on the bandwagon and perhaps even doubling their valuations.

So in the long run, these “buy vegetables” companies are worth going to.
