Pretty sure the early employees did make millions from stock grants and Netflix was always known for high salaries. $250K - $500K a year not unheard of.

  Yes Netflix does pay top of market. But they pay in cash - not RSUs. Recently from what I heard, they give employees the option of cash and RSUs. BTW, $250K - $500K is about average for BigTech developers.

    Given the current state of the stock market, it's even better.

    They pay with cash and options, not RSUs options that are fully vested and granted monthly at 40% value.

  > $250K - $500K a year not unheard of. More like $500k minimum. Netflix mostly hires senior engineers – until recently it was only seniors – and those seniors make over $500k.

    So they might be paying 2x-3x. Does that justify professional player analogy?

  Professional footballers can make that in a week.

    Which footballers are making $26M a year? Only the best of the best.
