Interesting. I've heard that Netflix is a very high stress place, I would have imagined more burnout... although maybe those people just end up leaving? I could see having a revolving door of people coming and going with a low tenure having a low burnout number just because many people don't stay long enough to burn out or once they're burned out?
One thing about tech is at least you get paid well, so that if you need to take some time off between jobs that is more possible than with many other careers.
- bytematic 8y agoLast I read Netflix doesn't hire juniors, could that be the reason?
- cbanek 8y agoCould be, I wonder if that is ever accounted for in these burnout studies... I always felt like the senior people are the ones burning out, because they are generally the ones that have to take on random firefighting activities and operations. Although on future reflection, it seems like the junior ones are also taken advantage of frequently with long hours and "perks."
