Salesforce vs Coinbase New Grad offer

Nov 20, 2021 18 Comments

I’m an international student with 1 YOE and got these two offers:

Salesforce (return intern offer)
Location: San Francisco
Level: MTS
Base: 158k
RSU: 27.5k (110k over 4 years)
Bonus: 16k (10%)
Sign-on/Relo: 25k sign on + 13.5k relo
TC: 1st year: 240k, Recurring: 201k

Coinbase (new grad offer)
Location: Remote, SF/NY
Level: IC3
Base: 135k
RSU: 50k (1 year vest, no cliff)
Bonus: 7k (5%)
Sign-on/Relo: None, 3.6k per year WFH stipend
TC: 1st year: 195k, Recurring: 195k

Both won't negotiate, but I believe I can negotiate a 10k sign-on from Coinbase. Also Coinbase isn't willing to consider prior YOE, MS degree.

What are the important things I should think of while choosing between these two? If Coinbase, why?

    Salesforce is a shitty curd app that’s a friendlier version of oracle. Coinbase is a leader in a nascent field.

    Don’t worry about a 10-20k difference early on in your career. Focus on the learning opportunities, Coinbase will probably have a lot.

    Coinbase is not worth a pay cut AND shitty WLB. Ask them to increase the offer by at least 20-30% of your SF offer. Otherwise go with SF.

  • Lol kids are getting 158k base after MS . Great. I started with 100k in 2014 in a similar company like salesforce. Interesting to see how tech salaries have gone up.

  • For sure coinbase. If comp is your worry - youll be able to get promoted to ic4 in less than a year so youll go up to (250k) and most good engineers can hit senior in 3 years (400k). Also much more interesting problems and if you care about crypto (and making $$ on crypto) at all theres a lot you can’t learn at most other places.
