Another Netflix question

Do Netflix eng directors have lower base than ics? Since the CEO makes 700k and ics make more I'm almost certain this is the case.

I'm guessing Reed just takes a smaller base than many eng directors (since he's got so much stock), rather than them making less than ICs.

Albertsons rvUd7211 OP May 1, 2019

So then how much base are Netflix eng directors, if Google pays like 300k?

Albertsons rvUd7211 OP May 1, 2019

CEO only makes $700k?

Base

Reed earns 20+ M per year, he elected to use the majority of the salary on stock options. Every Netflix employee and executive can do that. Reed can have all 20M in cash he wants to. He just never did it.

Albertsons rvUd7211 OP May 1, 2019

Yeah I doubt they would let him do that, CEO pay is capped at 1m for tax reasons. I am just asking about director pay though.

Netflix LoveDeathR May 1, 2019

No, the pay is all cash and everyone can choose how much on stock options themselves. From 0% to 100%. Some executive took 5M+ in cash.

Albertsons rvUd7211 OP May 1, 2019

That's really unusual, interesting. What does a director make, can't you see their salaries?

Netflix LoveDeathR May 1, 2019

Typically 700k+ to the best of my knowledge

Albertsons rvUd7211 OP May 1, 2019

Dang that's actually, like, the moderately high range of an IC but with a hundred times more stress and having to manage hundreds of direct reports. I guess some people really don't want to learn Java.
