I assume the 800k is because of vested stock with strong share growth.
An actual Netflixer can chime in, but as far as I know from friends who work there, Netflix is almost all base, no stock and no large bonus. My friends are data engineers with 3-5 YOE making about 400k base upon their hire, so I believe it. They thought folks in the ML group were in the 700-800k range. All hearsay though, so please take with grain of salt.
Ex-Netflix here. I left at the tail end of 2016 & was making 320k then. No bonuses, but they did give you [an additional] 5% of your salary in options at I think 40% of the strike price. I assume it is still that policy.
Can you share your friends backgrounds that go to data engineers?
wow, you really want to find out who these people are.
I mean I'm interested too, I thought my 150k was good but holy fucking god...
Maybe he just wants to find out if MSc in Data Science is worth it.
interested as well lol
