What's it like working at a crypto exchange now? Kraken, bitfinex, Binance etc

They had some layoffs last year, didn't hear much since Stressful, low volume or pay or building new things for the future?

Well yeah, I assumed you were into that since you were asking about crypto.

Probably not doing good. People don’t have extra money to be scammed nowadays.

Coinbase is hiring Regarding the stress, imo it is relative based on your past experience and expectations.

Here at Binance, they've laid off around 30%, and it's still continuing. They cut all of our benefits, and the overall mood is really bad.

Almost 40% now

Most crypto companies are cutting costs. Crypto winter is real

At Kraken. There's nothing special. We've been through similar in the past. Not stressful. Layoffs sucked. Management doesn't seem to know what they want. Pretty typical stuff that you will find at any company of a certain size.
