Netflix is staffing up as it pushes further into gaming, advertising, and other areas — despite 2022 being a year of disruption that led to layoffs for the original TV disrupter.

With the streaming company listing more than 300 open jobs as it continues to vie for dominance in an increasingly heated direct-to-consumer entertainment market, Insider updated its analysis of how much Netflix employees make in the US.
