Lmao I literally just got a linkedin email of a job posting in Netflix for a role similar to my current job. The salary range? 100k-700k.
radiohead37@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I thought I was already exaggerating a little with 35k to 270k. But now I feel it was realistic.
On a side note, please don’t even consider taking a job at Netflix. Everybody who works there is always under threat of losing their job. They constantly reevaluate employees and managers are forced to churn through people even when their team is working well. The culture is absolutely savage.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, never worked there, but if you’re not worried about job stability personally, it doesn’t matter. Do your best, learn everything you can, take no criticism personally, get fired for bullshit reasons, and learn from the experience. Just use them. They don’t care about you, you already know you could be fired, and ride the wave as far as it takes you. The lifestyle is not for everyone, but a lot of younger people know this these days. They see the companies like stepping stones. Any company probably won’t last ten years, anyway. Loyalty is bullshit on either side.

Their “flat” hierarchy also winds up pitting everyone against each other.

Was looking at a job posting for a role in CA and the range was, I shit you not, 75k-395k.
cm0002@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I kinda want to give them the benefit of the doubt because that’s just odd it seems as if someone just fat fingered the 3, because 75-95 makes a lot more sense
But then again corporate gonna corporate soooo
hightrix@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Unfortunately, this level of job regularly pays 200k plus or minus a bit. So I doubt it was a fat finger unless they meant 175-395.
DoomBot5@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Maybe they did fat finger it, but they didn’t care because they weren’t being paid enough?
LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I usually average out the two salaries and use that as their “intended” starting pay.
So (75 + 395)/2 = 235k a year avg starting salary for an average applicant.
The top end I consider the pay if the applicant meets all the requirements listed in the job ad.

It’s no accident. I was out of a job for half the year and saw this so many times. In states where the laws aren’t specific enough, posting a huge rave is how companies comply with the letter but not the spirit of it.

You’ve never shopped for housing in California, have you? $95k doesn’t give you rent for a room in a quad.
cm0002@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well I wasn’t really saying it was a fair or decent wage lol just that it made more sense for the range to be a difference of 20k instead of 320k lmao
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s way too low for CA. But 395 is director-level.
bouh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s very fat fingers to type a 3 next to a - or a 9.

What that says to me is they are not looking to fill a specific position. They are collecting resumes for whatever internal backlog and, should they have a need, they’ll fill any necessary positions at those salary brackets from their resume pile.
