Have two offers: Coinbase in SF and box in Redwood city. Coinbase already doing H1B transfer and got receipt notice. Now I got offer from box which is paying way higher and is IPO-ed since Coinbase is not IPO and has no plans to IPO soon. Coinbase: 160K base, 50K equity, 30K signon bonus Title: IC4 Box: 190K-210K base, 80-100K equity, 10K signon bonus Title: Senior Software Engineer Which one do I pick ? Compensation wise box is way higher. But given Coinbase already doing H1B and box has to start the process and also, tech stack/future might be better in Coinbase, I’m having a hard time to decide.
Coinbase is a good company. Box is boring
Money wise, they’re not IPO and pay less base salary
YOE? Box equity seems low..
4 YOE. They said 19000 units for 4 years and calculating the yearly price: 19000*17/4= 80750
Ok. BOX is much stable compared to coin base. But then you might have more exciting time at coin base and more learning I think. Talk to someone from either companies and decide?
Box is a no brainer, total package is much better. Always go for cash in hand.
Thanks for the advice! Really appreciate it!
Negotiate for more. Show them your offer and sure Coinbase will match it. I wouldn't join Box
Yes I’m in big dilemma 😆
That TC is on the lower end for senior but I think Senior Software with 4 yoe is better that I usually see. Whats your tc at service now?
I’m earning around $230K as of now.
Go with Box ! U are low balled at coinbase!
I felt that as well. But in general, seems like Coinbase pays low to IC4. They didn’t have me as Senior SWE which I think I am.
What did you choose
Going with box. I contacted Coinbase hiring manager and he said that he can’t match.
Cb didn’t even bump up the offer a lil for you?
Any tips for the onsite at coinbase ?
How is the future better at Coinbase?
Since, Coinbase is the main cryptocurrency exchange in US while box has one drive/ google drive as competitors. Box stock also falling since cloud content management getting too mainstream.
BTC is down. So are all crypto's Starboard has been buying Box. Read about what they do to companies. My advice, join Box and keep leetcoding
