Streaming giant Netflix is hiring staff to work on a private jet - and you'll be paid a whopping £300,000.
The successful candidate will need to help the company "continue to create joy around the world" and will be paid as much as $385,000 (£313,538) a year.
Despite laying off 300 employees in a second round of job cuts last year, after losing subscribers for the first time in more than a decade, the huge salary may come as a surprise to many.
According to the job listing on the website, they are looking for candidates with "independent judgement, discretion and outstanding customer service skills".

While the role is based in San Jose, California, it will require travel in and beyond the United States.
This is so the Netflix Flight Attendant can help the team and "Netflix reach the world more efficiently and effectively so the company can continue to create joy around the world."
Therefore, the company will be determining the successful employee's salary by considering "compensation factors" such as their "aviation experience", background and skills.
The duties will also include being able to lift items as heavy as 13.6kg (30lb) when loading and stocking planes, as the right candidate will be working on a "Super Midsize Jet".

It grappled with slowing growth and increased competition, having previously made an initial round of reductions of similar size in May 2022.
