Is that some aggregate estimated "total compensation" figure or are they making $300K in real money? That sounds very, very high for what I have seen.

Netflix is known to be at the high end of salary as base pay. You can see the numbers yourself by looking at H1B petitions. I see many software engineers above $300k [1]. I don't think it's the norm in the valley, but for someone highly skilled it's attainable.

Agreed. Netflix is known to be an outlier. My understanding is that it is also a relatively high stress place to work.

Having met a number of Netflix employees (and knowing one extremely well), I don't think this is actually true. YMMV.

The high stress part or that their employees are generally near the top of the game?

Interesting. Thanks for the data. I wouldn't want to work there myself, but it's good to keep an eye on what the market's doing.
