WALTHAM, MA. (February 12, 2024) – Salary.com^® is the market leader in cloud-based total compensation management software and data solutions. The company today announced that Cupid is getting a raise. Cupid, the loveable cherub with centuries of experience in bringing couples together, is no longer needed for matchmaking. AI and intelligent matching meet that market demand.  Instead of shooting a bow and arrow to bring couples together, Cupid is upskilling by offering services that keep couples together. With these new skills, Cupid has the potential to earn up to $334,804 per year.

“AI is changing the job market. New technology means that everyone must gain new skills to remain competitive. Cupid is no exception and has been working hard over the past year to add the services couples want,” said John Sumser, VP of marketing for Salary.com. “Cupid no longer focuses on bringing couples together. With new skills, Cupid now helps couples stay together.”

Facing reduced demand for “meet-cute” services due to AI-based dating apps, Cupid trained to take on new roles such as cardiac technician, relationship manager, counselor, and referee. These roles allow Cupid to offer a whole new suite of services, while increasing overall salary. According to Salary.com, if you add up all of Cupid’s new roles and look up the median compensation on Salary.com, Cupid makes a total of $334,804 in the Boston area.

Cardiac technician - $51,124
Account relationship manager - $133,600
Counselor - $59,933
Sports referee - $45,914
