        Netflix pays crazy rates, but treat their employees as bad if not worse than Amazon. Last I heard the average tenure there is 12-18 months (granted, that’s still a fuckload of money).

            Companies like those expect you to fully ramp up and deliver positive value within 2-4 months (no matter how much they like to tell you otherwise during orientation)

            It’s fucking brutal and on purpose to filter out people who can’t learn fast/grind hard

              Yeah but does anyone really in that time? Lol lmao no.

              Some might try to but they don’t really, not creatively. It really fucking shows in the output of netflix too.

                They do, I’ve had quite a few new teammates who’ve done that

                They’re all people who’ve been coding at a young age or are completely obsessed with coding and working. Like spend lots of free time reading published papers or just working more types lmao

                They usually also job hop once every year or two so they’re used to it

                Just the most hardcore careerists you’ve ever seen

          Working there for 2 years and moving up the ladder and gaining influence, eventually convincing the executives that limiting customers to 5 movies a day is a great idea. Then by the time the company has tanked, you would’ve made a million bucks and dipped to another state
