This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A good friend almost took a job there over the summer. by EricCartman
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.
