It probably depends on the company. I expect the engineers Netflix is paying 500k plus a year value their domain knowledge greatly. I also expect if you showed up to an interview with said skills they would recognize them (to a greater degree than otherwise). I've started to use that as an actual filter when I interview. Do I have relevant experience beyond the e.g. languages I've used, and is the company actively soliciting that information from me? If not, I treat it as a red flag. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but if the place treats engineers as line coders who need to clear only very generic entrance criteria, they probably run a feature factory. We all know how those places turn out.
