Kraken offer details

Hello, Posting here the offer I got from Kraken to get your point of view. But some context first: I work at Amazon based in the EU. I would continue working from the EU and, for that, Kraken makes you a contractor/freelancer/consultant contract. I have the option to get paid in EUR. - Job title: Data Analyst II (one level below Sr Data Analyst I). That equivalent to Amazon L5? - Base: $120K - Yearly bonus based on performance (shouldn't be less if you do well - not sure how high the bar is for Meets/Exceeds Expectations): 10% - Stock options: 12k options at a strike price of $35 and current value of $85. Vested monthly over 6 years with a cliff of 1 year. So $100K net per year at current prices. - TC: $232K per year. Amazon EU current TC: 108K EUR YOE: 5 Things to consider: - I'd be a contractor so could potentially pay more taxes. I'll meet with a tax advisor this week to figure this out. Also job security is less? - Can I get higher base? Options package is good I think. - In the interview process for Polygon as Data Analyst/Engineer. In terms of comp, would it be lower/similar/higher? - What were people getting into Coinbase getting as the current share price prior to public listing? If it was similar ($80-100) and then it went to $200, it could be the case for Kraken as well and it would really pay off. Thank you! #blockchain #crypto #bitcoin #kraken

did you accept the offer?

Amazon Nojangles Feb 22, 2022

Why would you be a contractor? So, no benefits? That is a deal killer.

which other benefits are you thinking about?

Amazon Nojangles Feb 24, 2022

401K, medical, dental, etc.

How long after your final interview did you get the offer?

Amazon 1011fkm OP Feb 24, 2022

They took a bit longer than what I'd expected but are working on streamlining their approval process. It took a few weeks

Mine was quicker. Had the final interview Tuesday and was told today (Friday) that they hired someone else 🤦‍♀️ Best of luck to you!

Just got an offer for a non-tech role (US based). Higher base but all else is the same. Strike price is steep and vesting is non market. That’s the con I see.

Amazon 1011fkm OP Mar 25, 2022

Thanks for sharing. What was the strike price? Also, is your level similar to mine? II?

How was the interview? Is it SQL only?

Hello! Did you accept the offer? If yes, how was your experience so far working in Kraken? were you able to answer your initial questions? I'm right now in a similar situation as yours a few months ago, and your input would help me a lot. Thanks!

Yeah OP, can you share your experiences

Amazon 1011fkm OP Sep 6, 2022

All good for now. Pretty nice

Coinbase cjdj34 Sep 6, 2022

Stable place to be? Or any layoff fear?

Hi OP, thanks for the post. I am in a similar situation, expecting an offer by since I am in EU - Does Kraken still offer contract/Freelancing roles? or they could also take the path of third party companies to provide you full time benefits? Thanks
