You get paid in circa 2021 valuation dogecoin
As long as I can buy a Cybertruck

The catch is that your company can go under in 3 months
Might be worth the risk
You’d opt into joining a company that goes under in Q1 in this market?
Pays well yes, but the catch is how relevant the startup is in the ecosystem
Relevant enough until the next crypto winter
That's not a great benchmark buddy. There are better places to work at.
that’s not that much, given that the equity (or “tokens” in the last case) are completely worthless
If you have capital and want to use it to create a new cryptocurrency, from scratch, what would you expect to have to pay your first/founding protocol engineer? You'd need someone who understands cryptography, consensus protocols, distributed systems, and who can write low-level performant code. And maybe you want them to show up at an office in NYC. And they need to be willing to take the risk of a job that may not still exist in six months, for tokens that may prove worthless. Personally, I wouldn't take that job for 350k. A protocol engineer could go get a job at coinbase or whatever and earn more too.
Good response
This is how you get your identity stolen
They seem like typical L5/L6 roles and comp is comparable to faang. I'm guessing equity is paper money or even more worthless crypto. Guess it is surprising they pay on par for faang but they need nieche expertise
ZK cryptographers are in high demand and require a very specialized set of skills and a lot of experience. This seems about right.
The numbers seem pretty normal to me.
I’m from EU so I could be out of touch
