I am skeptical about these 1 million dollar paychecks. Take LinkedIn for example. With the recent reduction in their share price, is a mid-level engineer really making 300K to a million? I doubt this.
- matt_wulfeck 11y agoI know a $300k paycheck at Netflix wouldn't be very unusual for highly skilled cloud engineers.
- marssaxman 11y agoIs that some aggregate estimated "total compensation" figure or are they making $300K in real money? That sounds very, very high for what I have seen.
- matt_wulfeck 11y agoNetflix is known to be at the high end of salary as base pay. You can see the numbers yourself by looking at H1B petitions. I see many software engineers above $300k [1]. I don't think it's the norm in the valley, but for someone highly skilled it's attainable.

- tostitos1979 11y agoAgreed. Netflix is known to be an outlier. My understanding is that it is also a relatively high stress place to work.
- deirdres 11y agoHaving met a number of Netflix employees (and knowing one extremely well), I don't think this is actually true. YMMV.
- tostitos1979 11y agoThe high stress part or that their employees are generally near the top of the game?
- marssaxman 11y agoInteresting. Thanks for the data. I wouldn't want to work there myself, but it's good to keep an eye on what the market's doing.
