Twitch | $119,900—$198,300
Steph's Notes:
Twitch is so far the only company that's even paid cursory lip service to mental health (they reference it in the Benefits section of their Careers page, but it's mentioned separately), so they've got that going for them.
The salary is suspiciously wide, and, in my opinion, the low end is too low for a role this senior. Otherwise, it seems like a standard Trust & Safety Ops role.
