Are you comparing to full time or contractor roles? Contractor roles frequently pay more, but have less job security.
NetFlix should be compared to the contractor scale if they offer low job security.
- ghshephard 16y agoThese are all full time roles. If we wanted to compare with a contractor, we'd have to fold in Netflix Actuals for Bonuses + Equity + PTO and Benefits. But, you make a good point - the less and less security you have as an employee, the more closely that position resembles that of a contractor in which case you should be targeting about a 30-50% hourly increase (Taking into account the Benefits package). Hint: To get the 50% increase, remit your hours through friendly "Contracting Agency" instead of doing so personally - for numerous reasons, a contractor who would make $100/hour contracting individually, can somehow be charged out at $120/hour by their contracting firm.
- salemh 16y agoHow about a Sr Developer "informal" team lead ~$160,000? As a Tech recruiter, I gained him a new job (at lower pay), and his complaint with Netflix were two fold. Work-balance (family) and, he couldn't move up into a formal Lead role (though was acting as such, this could be a variable of the candidate itself). The new job handled both of these concerns. Otherwise, as a Tech recruiter, it was very hard to "head hunt" Sr/ Mgr / VP anything at Netflix...interesting article and discussion.
