I spoke with Coinbase at a time where I was trying to get away from a job where I worked 70-100 hour weeks. I would always tell recruiters I was seeking better WLB as I didn’t want a company that would have a problem with that attitude. I was told by multiple people that late nights should be expected and Coinbase was not a 40 hour per week company. Further - there are 4 weeks a year where the company shuts down and everyone is “encouraged” to take their vacation during those times. Personally I like to select the weeks that I am off work. The comp was good but I ended up at Google making the same money with great WLB. My equity has been hit far less hard by recent market turmoil as well. Can’t even imagine getting a 6 figure equity package and having it devalue 70% and then grinding long hours.
- alphakilo 4y agoFWIW the 1 week every 4 months is on top of your vacation, not "encouraged vacation", but rather a company wide recharge week I agree those who started in the 6 months after IPO got the short end of a stick. The current packages are based on 90 day moving average IIRC. At least the grants being yearly helps in this case
- randomopining 4y agoSo how down is a typical comp of a senior engineer at CB?
