Honest question (I don't know much about audio coding), but from what I've read here on HN, Netflix offer some of the best remuneration packages - so don't they have some of the best developers working there?

Surely they'd have picked this up if it were that straight forward?

Having worked in several top-tier for employee-compensation firms, I can wholeheartedly assure you that best pay does not result in best developers (or any other job function).

It does generally result in a higher “floor” of employee, but that’s about it.

Have you seen how broken the hiring process is at these bigger places.

If you spend your time learning about the details of audio playback what kind of additional time do you have to learn leetcode?
