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, delayed on-sites with Google, Snowflake, Robinhood for L5 level. Yoe -8 Tc - laid off. #netflix #promontech #promo #tech #offer #
solely up to manager you can ask for re leveling, but better back it up. frankly, i have a hard time imagining someone getting onboarded and showing E5 level impact within a few months, even for E5s upon promotion, band is adjusted to new band. we don’t do percentage based promotions
What tips would you give to show that impact?
It’s darn near impossible to come up to speed in under 6 months. Sure, some jobs are more vertical and you can make an impact there. But others are extremely complex and require knowledge of a vast number of systems just to get anything done.
U will get bad poll result bc you didn’t include a 🍿 option. Source: I picked a random option
Yea, netflix without 🍿 ain’t fun
Take it if none of the other offers beat NFLX L4. Leveling is hyped anyway
Thanks, I am also considering this way, may be the poll should be - is level more important or 🤑💵
Wao so many people saying don’t join at L4 ? Hmm whyyyyy
A Netflix L4 TC is about the same as an Amazon SDE 3. L5 is about the same as Amazon principal in terms of TC. But here’s the question for you. If your unemployed and you have a really good company offering you a job for good money (you didn’t say what you were making before or how the Netflix offer matches up), but anything is better than 0 and I’m sure the offer isn’t anything. Quite frankly, it’s a great place to work at. The campus is quite nice, the perks are great, you’re going against traffic. Netflix still looks pretty darn good on a resume. The food is great. The people are all brilliant and they all help each other (more than at any company I’ve ever been at). The WLB is pretty darn good. Unlimited vacation is great to have (most people are taking the next 3 weeks off and that’s in addition to summer and other vacations). And importantly, Netflix has done quite well during economic downturns, it’s comparatively cheap entertainment (cheaper than Disney even depending on the plan).
Agreed ! I guess I am having hard time to let my emotions go away with levels. It comes with true experience
Is L4 at Netflix comparable to Senior at other places ?
I thought Netflix didn’t have levels?
Now they do!
