Coinbase Senior Numbers

Initially talked to Coinbase about a role that is outside of the Eng Org (Trust and Safety) for an IC5 Senior role even though the role is for an Engineer title. Initial quote was Base 148,500 Equity 150,000/4 (37,500 a year) This seems quite low for an IC5. Anyone from #Coinbase can chime in? This is for a remote role in Washington state. From what I understand it’s 90% or SF/NYC for salary.

Sounds low but who knows

Tell them to pay you in Bitcoin, your TC will triple

This option actually exists. You can choose what % of your salary you want to be automatically converted to BTC.

Equity is standard. You could try to negotiate but probably not much wiggle room. My advice, join ASAP to get the lower share price. If you decline, you will probably regret 2 months from now. Cannot disclose more specifics. Search "Coinbase IPO" on Blind and decide for yourself

The role title has Engineer in it and it’s an Engineering role as far as I can tell but the role itself falls under Trust and Safety which falls outside of Engineering, apparently? That equity is standard for IC5 non-Eng? 150,000/4? So from what I can tell IC5 equity is: 150000/4 non eng 400000/4 eng?

Sorry I didn't see the "outside of eng org" part. Anyway, offers are more or less standardized based on roles and locations.

That's an IC4 offer not a senior offer.

I was told this was for IC5 Senior ;(

Coinbase UnicodeErr Feb 14, 2021

There must be a mistake. Base salaries are standardized by level. There is no negotiation. IC4 is 160, IC5 is 200.
