Will this pair of Hollywood strikes ever end? It looks like the big corporations are digging in for a long battle, illustrated by Netflix’s recent job posting for a machine learning platform product manager.
Netflix lists $900,000 AI job as actors and writers continue to strike::Will this pair of Hollywood strikes ever end? It looks like the big corporations are digging in for a long battle, illustrated by Netflix’s recent job posting for a machine learning platform product manager.
I know we have our pitchforks out, but wanted to point out one subtle, but big difference from the article vs the job posting.
The article quotes a base salary of $900,000, however that is incorrect as the number is the Total Compensation, NOT just the base salary. The job posting specifically calls this out.
Regardless, these are very large numbers however the pay mixture could be (and likely is) loaded up with RSU grants, which isn't "cash" perse.
A base salary of $900K vs total comp of $900K are two vastly different things. Again, acknowledging that either way, these numbers are astronomical.
When you are spending billions of dollars on programs, 1m is peanuts.
If you can speed up a billion dollar program by 1%/improve by 1%, you got your money's worth.
But people of that tier usually make a much bigger impact.
Anders Hejlsberg, the creator of C# and typescript is a great example.
He created two major modern languages, take typescript alone, there are tens of thousands of developers who work on just the tooling for typescript between eslint, webpack, react, angular, etc.
