Coinbase Job Security?

I just got a generous offer from Coinbase. But with the talk of recession and crypto slowing down I’m concerned about the risk of layoffs. Can anyone at Coinbase give me the pulse of whether this is actually a risk at this point? I don’t want to leave a good job just to be first in line for a RIF.

Balance sheet is good. Hiring freeze likely, layoffs extremely unlikely. Winter is when crypto companies build and get ahead. It is against company strategy to layoff especially since we are extremely flushed with cash

Do you happen to know, if a hiring freeze occurs, would people who have accepted, but not joined yet be affected?

Coinbase VJWn63 May 6, 2022

If you’re in the pipeline you’ll probably get through

Yeah don't do it or just do it. You'll never know

I’m personally extremely NOT concerned about layoffs. This isn’t Coinbase’s first crypto winter

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT ?

Coinbase is a risk. Stay put.

TC or GTFO

First you learn to be generous with tc and offer info

Coinbase comp is standardized and everyone at that level gets the same. Pretty easy to see it on levels.fyi and no value in asking for it in here.

I don’t see it as an issue with crypto winter. Even if crypto prices are at ath, will coinbase nevertheless be in decline? Look at robinhood for example, if the s&p gets back to ath, I doubt robinhood will be go back to ath. The answer will depend on how you valuate coinbase

Apple DeepakMu May 6, 2022

Robinhood didn’t make money. That’s the problem. Robinhood and Coinbase are both fintechs yes but very different.

Meta a3pq9g May 6, 2022

Well then take meta. Even if stock market reach ath meta won’t be recovering to ath. Many companies in downward spiral won’t make it. Take any of them, tDoc, peloton, etc. Depends if you think the same will happen to coinbase

With the amount of cash CB has layoffs are extremely unlikely
