He would have been very high up (Dir/VP level). They were offering high six figures in equity as part of the comp package (obviously this would be toast now).

During the interview, everyone kept talking about the next round of funding that was coming (around $1B, I think). They ended up with an infusion from FTX instead.

Everyone that he spoke to left a legit finance role to join the company, and they all had huge equity packages.

He ended up taking a boring job at a bank because he wife refused to tell her coworkers that her husband works in crypto.

I know another guy that joined Coinbase a few months ago. He absolutely loves it there.
