How I Got a Job at Netflix Animation 🎬✨

Views are my own and do not reflect my employer's. While I currently am not at Netflix, my past experiences in the animation industry have mainly been either at Netflix, or on projects in collaboration with Netflix. Just wanted to provide some insight for anyone trying to break into the animation / entertainment industry, but keep in mind that everyone's path is going to be different!

I want to know the salary range Netflix pays for animators

[BillyBob_McSanchez]

Does Netflix hire people with degrees in Digital Media? Because that's what I graduated with. At first I thought it was an animation major but it's not. All it is, is just a computer coding major. 90% of my classes are just coding, coding, and coding. There were two classes where we learned animation, both 2D and 3D but we only covered them in a week then went back to coding. I'm gonna be honest with you, I HATE coding because it stresses me out and there's so much content that you gotta memorize and understand. Not to mention that I hate fixing bugs because it's over 1000 lines of code that I gotta read. I wish I could switch my major but I am NOT interested in business, math, science, history, English, and psychology. If someone in the comments can help, please do. I wanna get an animation job, NOT a coding job. I'm scared that if I get hired for a coding job, they might fire me on Day 1, not to mention that I barely passed Advanced Programming class. I'm currently at Amazon warehouse desperately trying to quit that job too. Someone please help, I'm so stressed out

Thank you for this video. This was really helpful. Do you have any suggestions for tags to use when we post our work to attract potential studios?

That’s why I love LinkedIn and during interviews and tests I agree - act like you already work there! Pretend your just another day on the job and they’ll see how you’re the perfect fit
