Netflix for H1B
Hypothetically, if you were offered a job at Netflix that does interesting work and pays more than your current job, would you take it while on H1B?
I would love to go to Netflix!! But I hear they only hire senior engs I am only a puny L4 insect 😒
Don’t do it on H1B. Many people get fired for apparently no reason.
Interesting, there’s no pattern in them? Also like Amazon mentioned above there seems to be a lot of H1Bs.
@roma could you write a couple more lines on why people get fired according to what you’ve personally seen? I am looking to apply for a role there and am quite scared by opinions such as yours. I’ve read the culture deck btw. Thanks!
4 months severance pay would want to make new get fired. And hey, H1 comes with 2 months notice period. And I don't know if Netflix will have you on payroll for sometime
It doesn’t summarize anything. There are plenty of Visa holders here who are happy and will never leave. There are a handful who might be scared of getting fired but I think it’s just lack of confidence in self. Bad managers holding grudges will never survive in Netflix.
Wait till you find a bad manager 😀
There is good and bad. If you are on H1b and/or single breadwinner, don't join Netflix coz it's a big risk. If you have a spouse who also works and you can go on H4 as a worst case, definitely try it. Also be ready to be let go at any time
Half of Netflix is on H1B. What’s your point?
I think OP is implying at that Netflix allegedly doesn't PIP and fires right away. Which risks immediate deportation for an h1b holder
It's not easy to get put on pip. It's fine unless one is a lazy fuck
