Indeed. It's not like you can't work on Crypto with good intentions (I have been following the Namecoin project for a while, they are under-funded and the team refuses to do any marketing; as a result, their currency have little value and they can't afford to pay the astronomical expenses other crypto projects pay) But if you are going for any of these non-shiny companies (some of them are doing really hard engineering work), the pay and the benefits will be normal and maybe over below market-rates.
