>The pay for Senior & Principal level positions at Netflix are $350k-$500k+ base compensation.

true according to acquaintances from there. Pure cash.

>The same shape of thing at Apple, Facebook, etc. would be about half that in many cases.

the base at FAANG is about half of NFLX. The RSUs take the total higher than NFLX. Know cases where $100K-$200K higher total comp offer from FAANG (i.e. mostly RSU) wouldn't move the NFLX employee - $500K cash change your view of the world :)

That's really silly, but demonstrates Netflix's pay strategy. They don't pay better than other FAANGs - the comments in this thread indicate they pay less than the top FAANGs. But then they use the fact that it's "all cash" to appeal to folks who are misguided about RSUs.
