brilliant people, great pay, flexible work hours, and lots of perks
unlimited PTO you can't ever take, culture if very cut throat and very toxic. You could be doing great one day and then the next day you're having an exit interview with your manager and HR.
I am wondering what a new compensation package would look like if promoted from L4 to L5 internally at Netflix. Similar to an external L5 offer? Also, if someone could provide insights into how hard the promo is / timelines that’d be helpful. I’m aware it’s solely up to manager discretion. YOE: 3 ...Read more
Now that it's been over a year since levels were introduced at Netflix, what have been people's observations or experience with promos at Netflix? Specifically, how are L4 to L5 promos? What are expectations? I saw this from a year ago, but at that point it had only been around half a year since le...Read more
Got down leveled by Netflix so trying to understand how easy it is to get promoted to L5 at Netflix ? Is it time based or solely up-to Manager ? Can i ask for re leveling after few months of joining?? Does Netflix pay L5 salary upon promotion? Or regular 10-20% increment ? Other offers - none, d...Read more
Manager says I’m on track to promote to L6 within next 1.5 years. Current team is good, but trending downwards because of upper management. Looking to maximize TC and grow as an engineer. Should I wait for promotion and try for Netflix L5, or start interviewing for Netflix L4? TC: 300k YOE: 3
I think I will jump to Netflix in a heartbeat if N offers more than $430k. Currently L4 at $360k Do you think my assessment of Netflix is accurate? Wlb Google > Netflix Pay Google < Netflix Benefits Google > Netflix Prestige Google > Netflix Promo/Growth/Learning Google < Netflix Ta
Current: Microsoft L63, 7YOE, 265k TC (Joined 1 year ago) Up for Promo to L64 this coming cycle. Would it make sense to join Netflix at E4 and work hard towards promo to E5? Also Netflix can be remote and MS is currently hybrid. TC will be more at Netflix (~400k). Is it a down level? Is it worth...Read more
I’m currently on a dead end team at my current job as an L4. I have small scope and it’s bad for my career. How hard is a promo from L4 -> L5 at Netflix if I grind?#
Recently got a call from recruiter for L5 security engineer position at Netflix. Currently working as L4 at Amazon for 1.5 years and up for L5 promo. How is the work culture at Netflix and is it worth a try? Permanent remote position, parental leave and salary are attractive at Netflix. TC: 200
SDE 2 at Amazon in Bay Area. 6 yrs job experience, 4 at Amazon. Waiting for SDE 3 promo in early 2025 (Q1/Q2) TC: 420k Age: 30 Should I interview with other companies for a TC bump? @meta @apple @netflix @openAI @uber
How long does this typically take? I’m a pretty high performer, so much so I was offered SDE2 salary as a new grad at AWS but chose to go with Netflix instead as they beat the offer. Is this doable in a year to 18 months? Was offered a shot at google again if I take one more interview after being d...Read more
I have an Netflix offer for Engineering Manager role. I am working from Seattle and plan to move outside. I was considering NYC or Boston. I am currently M1 at FB with 2 EM reporting to me (operating at M2 scope with promo in Jan). Current TC: ~$600k Netflix offer is - $800k all cash.
I recently got interest from a Netflix recruiter wanting to interview me for an L4 role. The problem is that I have >7 YOE so this wouldn’t be advancing my career. I’m currently the same level at LI, but not sure when I’d get a promo. Should I take the interview or pass if I want to get to L5 leve
Looking to job hop soon-ish in case promo doesn't work out. Also interested in mid-level engineering positions at other companies too. TC: ~240k YOE: 7 months #google #meta #amazon #netflix #apple #stripe #databricks
I had a really fantastic year at AWS. Joined as an L6 PMT-ES. Wrote 2 PRFAQs from scratch and launched 2 big products (launched at re:Invent) and a few iterative features as well. I am now feeling that I won’t be able to grow more next year. Too early for promo to L7. This makes me want to look for...Read more
One of my mentees is thinking about moving over to Netflix. A newly promoted E5 so the comp is low and they are getting an L4 offer from Netflix with an all cash offer. I am not sure what the negatives would be other than a downlevel but with a higher TC does it matter? I asked why not L5 and the r...Read more
If TC, good manager, good promo velocity, no pipping, was all figured out for you. Where would you want to work at? Some ideas to consider: products, vision, coworker skills, learning opportunities, perks, etc. TC 160k #tech #meta #facebook #google #amazon #apple #netflix
Google is very bureaucratic and similar to academia with multiple people judging the promo packet, to try and prevent having managers attempt to block promo, but the processes takes 1-2 months and is inefficient. You spend weeks preparing and then deliberating over these packets. Promo at Google re...Read more
Want to join Netflix sometime in future, preferably in 2 years. Looking for suggestions on preparation from Netflix engineers. Is there any engineering blog that helped you, any problem example that are asked in interview will greatly help. I hear LC is not much helpful for Netflix unless you know ...Read more
I’ve been thinking about making the switch back to SWE after 6+ years as an EM. I’m a senior manager, possible promo to Director soon, but I’d love to join a top tier company like Airbnb or Netflix (remote friendly). I miss development but fear I can’t hang anymore at 45 yrs old and having been out ...Read more
Does it make sense to leave Google now, in recession? Going to hit my pay cliff and don't see promo anytime soon? #google #startup #recession #faang #microsoft #amazon #apple #netflix #facebook #meta #oracle #towerresearch #tech
