And that range is likely a shade low -- not because Netflix treats H-1Bs as cheap labor (I work at Netflix and we don't, we treat visa workers very well) -- but because I would guess that the more senior visa workers who are paid more are more likely to be on green cards by now, and are no longer part of the public H-1B disclosures.
As for the parent comment: I do wonder... I'd hazard a guess that sometimes recruiters have dropped the ball, and not discussed salary ranges with the Netflix employee (and maybe they aren't allowed to), leading to an offer that's 1/2 or 1/4 what they are making.
And as for the parent topic... I couldn't bring myself to go interview _just_ to get salary intel, knowing I didn't want the job. And I can't see many of my coworkers doing it either. There would have to be a chance that I'd take the job.
