Aggregating what I've seen and heard on staff/principal comp at Netflix because there's a real gap in public data at these levels.
Staff SWE (L7 equivalent): Base range: $280k-$340k depending on team and location. Median landing point for strong candidates seems to be around $300k. Equity: variable. Some staff offers I've seen are heavy cash, no equity. Others include $200k-$400k in RSUs over 4 years. Appears to depend on team budget and how much they wanted the specific person. Bonus: none structurally, but senior folks can negotiate one-time payments as part of the offer. First-year TC: $300k-$420k depending on sign-on and any equity.
Principal SWE (L8 equivalent): Base: $360k-$420k. Equity: more consistent at this level, $400k-$800k in RSUs over 4 years seen in a few data points I have. First-year TC: $460k-$620k.
Netflix's philosophy is still 'pay top of market in salary' but at staff+ the equity is very much back in the mix. The all-cash framing is basically only accurate for E3-E5.
One thing worth knowing: Netflix does true 360 performance reviews annually and they use the outputs to make keeper decisions. Staff+ who underperform get managed out faster than at most companies. The comp is high because the expectation is high and the tenure can be short.
A couple of people I know who went staff at Netflix: one made it 4 years and left on his own terms with a very comfortable number. Another got 'adequate performance' for two years in a row and was let go at 2.5 years. Netflix is not a tenure-builder job, it's a performance-intensity job.
If anyone has current data points to add, post them.
