Is a director at Netflix equivalent to a director at Facebook/Amazon/Google?

    Not even close. A new Director at NFLX is L6 at google making around 450k TC.

    • Another note, titles at Netflix are very flat, so two different directors could map to very different roles at another company, so it’s funny to hear such a static view of these things. That’s one downside of Netflix trying to be flat and trusting people to determine nuance and value I guess.

    • I’m sure Reed Hastings would map to an L8, L9 at best

    Director at NFLX probably maps to L7 at Amazon and Google. Title: senior Manager or Staff Engg Manager. VPs at NFLX are probably at the Director level in Amazon and Google. Comp may be similar though.

      Well it seems this contradicts what @Fanger is saying. I’d be surprised that both titles at Netflix maps to the same level at Amazon.

      An engineering manager in one org could be far more experienced than an engineering director in another org. It’s all about your experience and accomplishments. Amazon needed my background and was prepared to pay for it which forced them into L7 for me.

    I can tell you we are definitely not sad. Have you seen the stock price over the last 5 years?

    100k option investment in 2012 would be worth over 10M today.

    Must disagree with sad Netflix people. Director at Netflix is same as L6 or L7 at Google. VP is equivalent to L8 or L9 at Google. I've compared comp with Netflix directors and a VP
