I’m currently an L4 at Google (3 years with google, 4 years total industry experience) and my TC is 250k. I recently checked levels.FYI and I saw that Netflix pays an average of $500k TC. It would take me at least 2 promotions at Google for that kind of TC, which normally would take around 5 years. Should I switch jobs? How’s the work at Netflix compared to Google?#engineering #swe

    Lol you dont have an offer? Why the heck are you posting then? Netflix is pure luck you can get basically anything, lc, non lc, multi threading, oop etc unlike rest of the industry so yeah it is hard to crack?

      Because I know nothing of Netflix’s hiring process or work culture, so I just wanted some general advice. Based on the snarky replies, I think it’s better I just shut my mouth and do my own research and make my own decisions.

    500k is average, which means there are many getting less than that. For your yoe most teams won’t consider hiring you, though there are more teams now open to hire ones with less yoe, but expect the comp to be in 3-400k range, which still is pretty good.
    For me Google interview was a lot easier, but again it depends on the team at Netflix.

    “Should I switch jobs?” If you get a better offer probably yea, some years ago a friend working in one FAANG got an offer to another FAANG but the offer was pretty much the same… so before getting offers there is no much to say.
