It is undeniable that Meta (formerly Facebook) has a more obvious competitive advantage in the "metaverse" and vr market field, and recently, it has a new move!
According to the New York Times, Meta is actively encouraging employees in the product, engineering and research fields to transfer to Reality Labs and join AR/VR-related positions, a change that has even caused some internal employees to complain and be dissatisfied.
Meta's emphasis on metaverses and AR/VR-related businesses has been increasing, and last September, CTO Mike Schroepfer said he would resign at the end of 2022, succeeded by Andrew Bosworth, who is in charge of the AR/VR business.
In addition, Meta will also give priority to AR/VR business in the selection of other executives.
Meta's emphasis on XR business is self-evident, in addition to encouraging internal job transfers, Meta's open recruitment positions have a large number of AR/VR software and hardware related. It is reported that this proportion has reached nearly a quarter, and the proportion is still expanding.
In addition, Meta also actively absorbs AR/VR-related talents from "friendly business", such as Apple, Microsoft, etc. Of course, in order to prevent its employees from being "dug into the wall", Apple will provide engineers with up to $180,000 in stock bonuses.
In addition to talent, Meta will also tilt the AR/VR business in the company's other resources, such as funds, time, etc.
It can be said that Meta's transformation into a metaverse has both strength and determination.
In October 2021, at the Facebook Connect 2021 online conference, Mark Zuckerberg announced the company's name change and said that Meta will go all out into the meta-universe.
As the VR hardware at the entrance of the meta-universe, Meta has an absolute advantage with Oculus, and its sales account for most of the entire market.
Today, Meta continues to strengthen the AR/VR business and talent layout, and while continuing to consolidate its position, it will also promote the industry forward.
Conspiracy in people!
The thirst for talents is not only unique to foreign giants such as Meta and Apple, but also many domestic companies are actively absorbing meta-universe related talents.
Searching for "Meta universe" in a recruitment APP will see a large number of high-paying positions, involving companies such as Tencent, Baidu, iQiyi, Geely, Microsoft China and so on.
The position involves Metacostem 3A planning, Metacostem Product Manager, Metacostem back-end development, Metacostem 3D art design, etc.

Nowadays, AR/VR and other metaversmic related technologies are not only growing rapidly, but also have gradually integrated into various industries, in addition to enterprises, various parts of the country have also introduced policies to encourage metacosm to help the development of the real economy.
In the foreseeable future, the demand for related talents will inevitably grow rapidly, but the contradiction with this is the talent gap in related fields, and for fresh graduates, as well as incumbents in related industries, as well as other people who are looking for jobs, we must not miss this opportunity of the times.
At the same time, as institutions and training institutions, we should also see this situation, actively embrace market demand, cultivate and export talents with practical ability, and assume the responsibility of talent supply.
Sina VR has long been concerned about XR and meta-universe related fields, has abundant professional resources, and has launched offline/online courses for XR talent training, looking forward to interested partners joining, and also looking forward to colleges and training institutions participating in the cooperation of talent training.
