How to get a job at Netflix or Google?  Do they hire folks who only have DoD experience? (But on old technology).  However, I am a hard worker and learn quickly (smart if I say so myself and get all with most folks) so definitely can pick up new skills - not sure if I can get hired without these skills but can't get them in the current job.  [/quote]

Those are top jobs.  You'd need to impress in an interview.  [/quote]

As a dev? You need relevant experience to get an interview then you have to pass the interview. Many engineers get interviews but it's not easy to crack them. [/quote]

Netflix pays 450k cash and only hire senior level engineers. [/quote]

Has to be more than that now. I remember hearing the 450k figure thrown around even 4-5 years ago but big tech salaries have increased a lot since then. Netflix is a place that will fire you at the drop of a hat too. [/quote]

What kind of skills does a senior level engineer need?  What is in demand? [/quote]

If you are asking this on DCUM, Netflix won’t be in the cards for you. They are ruthless.

But post questions on Hacker News for more general career advice. [/quote]

Agree. I don't have the skills to join Netflix as I am working in old technology for too long. If I don't have programming skills but have the ability to get a TS (with full scope poly) and other good skills, wonder if I should get a non programming job in these companies even if I start from a lower level and work my way up. Would the pay be worth it?[/quote]

I can’t see any reason Netflix would want a TS, but AWS and Azure with gov support would use it, but I doubt pay will be that stellar[/quote]

AWS and Azure both pay a clearance bonus on top of the regular software engineer compensation. Typically around 40-60k. You can easily hit 300-400k TC in these positions.[/quote]

This. 29yo and:

160k base
32k clearance bonus (TS, no poly)
75k RSU
35k cash bonus[/quote]
