According to public information on workplace social platforms (such as Maimai, Zhihu) and recruitment websites (BOSS Direct Recruitment, Liepin), ZTE’s salary mainly consists of basic salary, performance bonus, subsidy and year-end bonus. The following are salary ranges for typical positions:

| Job category | work experience | Monthly salary range (yuan) | Year-end bonus (number of months) |

| product manager | More than 5 years | 30,000-45,000 | 4-8 |
| sales Manager | 3-5 years | 20,000-30,000+ commission | 2-5 |

Judging from employee feedback, ZTE's salary is at an upper-middle level in the communications industry, but there is a certain gap compared with leading companies such as Huawei. Some employees mentioned: "The work intensity is moderate and the stability is high. It is suitable for people who pursue work-life balance."
In the past 10 days, the Zhihu topic "ZTE vs Huawei salary" has become increasingly popular. The following is a comparison of the key data of the two companies:
| Comparative item | ZTE | Huawei |
|---|---|---|
| Starting salary for fresh graduates | 15-22k | 18-28k |
| Year-end bonus proportion | 2-8 months | 4-12 months |
| Overtime intensity | medium | higher |
Disputed points:Some netizens believe that ZTE's salary increases are "slow", but Huawei's "high salary comes with high pressure"; others point out that ZTE's international project opportunities have more opportunities, which is helpful for career resumes.
Taken together, ZTE's salary levels are competitive in the communications industry and are especially suitable for job seekers who value stability and benefits. If you are pursuing higher wages and can withstand high-intensity work, Huawei or other major Internet companies may be a better choice. Job seekers are advised to weigh the pros and cons based on their own career plans.
