Manager / Senior Manager. Manages 4-12 ICs. Cash-default; equity election available at offer.
Director. Manages managers or a critical org. Comp can rival FAANG L7 / D1 directors despite the all-cash structure.
VP. Org leader. External hires very rare; cash-default makes Netflix VP packages stand out among peers in cash-on-cash terms.
Netflix manager comp follows the same 'top of market, all cash' structure as IC. Manager titles are flatter than peers - 'Manager' and 'Director' cover most of the org. There is no formal sign-on or refresh; the initial offer is the entire comp picture.
