Is it Safe to Join Coinbase ?? With current market and risk in crypto and blockchain technologies?? They Pay Awesome
I have received a very good offer from Coinbase after 8 interviews and hiring manager seems very nice guy, I am looking for answers from experts about risk/reward balance to join company like Coinbase considering business they are operating and market dealing with decentralized technologies.
I have seen lot of google, Apple, meta employees (especially top layer like VP, director etc) joining Coinbase recently thinking it’s going to be market leader in decentralized Finance and can become next FAANG, how true is this ?
Also I am working in workday from last 7 years with decent pay and okay team (manager is not so good but I can change the team) I started interviewing only because my current manager is not friendly and turned bossy and demotivating and looks like she is limiting my options to get promoted because I don’t agree with all her thoughts (in meetings) and sometime we will have conflict opinions and she will feel offended if I don’t agree to her hence started interviewing and received 3 offers so far and Coinbase is top of market among all of them.
Coinbase IC5 350k
Workday current TC 275k (plus retention bonus of 20k last year)

You take a month to brush off, interview somewhere else, and go take another role, likely at or above what you were making. It would also likely take years for any kind of bust to materialize, during which time you’re banking away that money and making good connections.
Now ask yourself the alternative: if you go there and they reach that growth potential and take off, what happens? You come away with the same years of banking away the high pay, but also years of expertise and experience in what would then be an even more in-demand technical area. Likely also you’ve leveled up once or several times, maybe moved into the managerial side, and rode the company success to personal career success.
This is mostly the calculus behind why other big tech employees, me included, are flocking to Coinbase. This is why most people join hyper growth companies to begin with.
I’ll be starting there sometime next month as an IC6 SWE, so hope to see you around.
Have you even read the Coinbase culture tenants. How do you expect to be part of such a company when you can't follow a simple convention set by the community.
I'm also an incoming Coinbase employee and spend weeks thinking and answering the same exact questions but guess what I have nothing to give you because you sir are a jerk.
Well, they're actually 9 years old.
Their product is good, but the biggest risk to all crypto companies is will people actually embrace decentralization? If they do, these centralized companies like Coinbase will see stagnant growth long term.
Also in a recession, a Coinbase will get hit harder in my opinion than a workday.
