As I mentioned on a related post, this information isn't especially useful without additional information. Salary range for a senior Engineering Manager at Google as $218k-$326k, but when all factors (joining bonus, joining equity, annual bonus, annual equity) are considered, the real compensation could be closer to $600k-$700k+/year.

That said, for jobs where cash is the primary component, it's super useful info.

Netflix’s range for SWE is $90K to $900K. I imagine you’d have to be a hell of a negotiator to get anywhere near the high-end.

swe is everything from the intern coming back for his first real job through the vp of engineering

Unless things have changed recently, Netflix neither has interns nor does it hire entry-level engineers.

Maybe that indeed has changed recently, but I am yet to find any indication of that.

I think it might've changed recently? I just looked on their job openings and see a SWE internship for this summer listed: https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/234866639

I thought I remembered reading a few months ago that they started hiring for new grads, but I can't remember where I read it, so can't say for certain. Though they do have this page (and one opening, but it's PHD level): https://jobs.netflix.com/new-grad-program

Oh wow, you are correct, thanks for posting those links. This is definitely a recent change, as they used to be senior+ only since I've even heard of them about a decade ago.

It’s a very recent change, announced in September of 2022. You haven’t missed much! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32708921
