About Netflix equity
Netflix (NFLX, HQ CA) grants no RSUs; equity comes through the ESPP only with a other vesting cadence. Historically cash-heavy base; stock options elective via "SOUP" program.
Whether to max it
If Netflix's ESPP has a 15% discount with a lookback, participation is typically the highest-return use of cash available to you (roughly 17-30% pre-tax per offering period). The cap is the IRS $25,000 contribution limit per calendar year.
