The pay might not be at FAANG levels but they're still not badly paid roles & tokens instead of stocks means your share allocation is liquid which is nice.

FWIW, I'm in Palo Alto working for an Eastern European startup and not starving which I imagine is unheard of in any other space.

Yeah I’m aware!

Token vesting is fantastic and short! Months!

Early stage private companies being compared to FAANG compensation is a major market distortion!

Its basically base + bonus + 5-6 figures of equity/options and 6 figures of tokens at a prelaunch valuation!

Just need the base + total initial compensation package higher, and some of the formalities to match US tax circumstances.
