Netflix announces vacancy for a flight attendant to be paid $385,000 annually

Netflix announced recently that it would be hiring a flight attendant for one of its private jets.

It’s a fascinating position, and the successful candidate will earn up to $385,000 (£313,538) per year!

Netflix is looking for candidates with “independent judgment, discretion, and outstanding customer service skills, and should be able to operate with little direction and a lot of self-motivation,” according to the job description.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for flight attendants in the United States is just over $62,000. This means that Netflix’s offer is not only double the amount, but also ‘outrageously’ tantalizing.

On its vacancy page on its website, Netflix indicated that “the overall market range for this role is typically $60,000 – $385,000. This market range is based on total compensation (rather than just base salary), which is consistent with our compensation philosophy”.

The company also stated that an employee’s salary is determined by factors such as their background, experience, and skills.

The role is based in San Jose, California and requires travelling in and beyond the US.

The attendant’s duties on a “Super Midsize Jet” will include inspecting emergency equipment in the cockpit, cabin and gallery before takeoff.

They will also have to be able to lift items as heavy as 13.6kg (30lb) when loading and stocking planes.

The advert included that the team “helps Netflix reach the world more efficiently and effectively so the company can continue to create joy around the world.”

Last year, the company revealed its first fall in paying customers in more than a decade after raising prices in key markets. The company also cut many jobs last year.

However, towards the end of last year, it had added 2.4 million households to its subscriber base which reversed a decline in subscriber numbers.
