- Trader creates new acronym for coronavirus pandemic: It’s all about DAWN “The old saying is, ‘It’s always darkest before the dawn,’ right? So, I’ve got that DAWN, D-A-W-N, strategy for you,” he said. “D is Domino’s Pizza. A, Activision for video games. W, Walmart, to get your toilet paper and ramen noodles. N for Netflix to stream your content.”
- Stop the shaming BS I hate when people who work at FAANGs morally try to shame others when they are moving to another FAANG. One is not ethically better than the other. All are trying to make money and maximize market share. Facts: Facebook only cares about engagement. Apple uses slave labor. Amazon sells counterfe
- vote Should I move to PE from tech? I work in tech in NYC: software engineer and NLP. Since one year I've become cynical. I seem to not care about cool tech stuff anymore, just do what's being told, no interest in climbing tech ladder, reduced interest in talking to people. I am interested in money, and think more about money. Few
- What are your predictions for streaming in the next few years? It’s an exciting time right now in the streaming industry. Disney is launching their hotly anticipated streaming service later this year. Warner will quickly launch their own big service shortly after that. NBCUniversal will then launch their own service end of next year. Netflix is rapidly blee
- Senior Software Engineer at Netflix Hello all, I was curious what it would take to get an interview at Netflix for a Senior Software Engineer position, and what would help me stand out to get the job. Currently I have a few years experience via internships and am now 6 months in at my first full time job building Media Streaming app
- How do you run a company with sustainable growth? Looking at Netflix today it seems wild that the only thing that the market rewards is more profits and unlimited growth. To me it seems Netflix is basically reaching / reached the point of the streaming market cap. Unless they make drastically cheaper plans, they aren’t going to find more users. Als
- Do you guys log into WhatsApp and iMessage on your work PC? I’m tempted to install WhatsApp and iMessage on my work PC but hesitant since they can technically look at everything I write. But it is a hassle typing on the phone all the time. Do you guys log into your message accounts? I mean I would even feel safer streaming Netflix since I’m not sharing pe
- Bullish on Netflix I am a longtime Netflix fan. While I agree stock was tad overvalued over the years as Wallstreet darling, the current stock drop and investor dumping is reactionary. During this inflation time, ofcourse its expected the first one to go are the secondary expenses like streaming subscriptions. And it
- Secret hiding in plain sight: ATM (Alphabet, Tesla, Microsoft) I bought ATM in 2020 and now I am multi millionaire. None of my friends listened to my investment advice and they still don't. They think Microsoft and Google are just 2x stocks and Tesla is way overvalued. They bought companies like FB(just dying app with no monopoly through device/os), Amazon (
- Is Netflix the next Yahoo? Before yahoo died it’s slow and painful death it was once the hottest internet company. It had top engineering and was a household name. However over time the company stopped viewing tech as its competitive advantage and focused instead on content. It spent tons of money on content (see how Mark Cub
- HBO max and Disney+ ui/ux Why is it neither of these have an easy way to restart episode/pick a previous episode? I’m definitely no expert in video streaming but I feel like it’s very possible to have a button that doesn’t take you straight back to home page from viewing the movie. I just noticed this while using Netflix tel

- vote Would you leave Netflix Hollywood for Apple Culver City? Received Apple offer but don’t know which option is better… if answered YES, please provide the reason in the comments. The comp is similar so remove money/TC when answering. Netflix has higher pay, less stability in keeping your job, full remote work option, company is focused on content creation
- vote Are you in on DIS? Disney+ is coming out and the company has the the largest movie universes and can easily put 1b+ blockbusters. Would you buy ahead of the streaming service launch or do you think it will tank? My biggest concern is I believe Netflix has far more technical prowess and I'm curious to see how Disney c

- Headhunting Firms in EU (US Citizen) Hey all. I’ve been thinking a lot about moving back to Europe of late, and I’m wondering if anybody has some headhunting firms or recruiter contacts they might refer me to. I’m pretty agnostic on where to move, since everywhere is an hour flight away, but I speak fluent Spanish and Catalan so could
- Does Amazon Studios have the same rep as Amazon? Few posts here about Amazon Studios and obviously much hate for Amazon in general. Interested in making the jump as media/film had always been my passion and finding a job where tech and film intersect seems like a dream, though I'm reluctant due to the poor rep Amazon has. Am I crazy for considerin
- Companies that pip the most : Amazon, Netflix & Meta are getting pipped by market It's an irony that companies in FAANG that strive on fear based culture have seen their stocks flat or drop significantly in this market. Amazon has to manipulate their earnings by including rivian unrealized stock appreciation & start buying back their stocks to stop the stock from deflating. engi
- Netflix getting out of hand 17.99 a month for Netflix. The service keeps bloating and bloating in price with less and less content available to watch. It’s becoming cable.

- vote Terrible interview experience [Rant] I interviewed at an old age media company trying to get into streaming. The first question the hiring manager asked was "what makes you think you are qualified for this role?" Like wtf and I was seriously offended but still kept my cool and answered as best I could. The next question was "Imagine y

- Alternatives to TiVo TiVo stream (where you can watch your shows on a iPad in the same house) has been driving me nuts. Every 15 mins I have to restart the setup.

- vote Unpopular opinion: Apple has beaten Google as the best company to work for as SWE Google has always been the darling of silicon valley for their TC, WLB, Perks, Prestige, Stock etc. before 2020, even though Facebook/Netflix can beat Google's TC, they couldn't beat their WLB, Perks.
