A Toronto-area recuiter has mentioned a suprising amount of money for what appears to be a run of the mill cloud-aware ops job.

Berachain offers generous salaries ($400k) as well as STRONG Token Equity Packages ($300k p.a.) and amazing team culture, with an office based in Toronto

(Obvious answer is that the actual offer is lower, of course.)

I’m figuring the catch is something less obvious than:

Assuming for this post that this was a $400,000 salary with the usual corporate addons, how would somebody go about finding the catch that the salary is the red flag for?

    There are some other possibilities too, common in IT and devops jobs in general.

    1. They get you into the office for a job interview and have you do some “tests”. The tests turn out to be “set up our aws buckets” and other things that take advantage of your expertise. They then decide not to hire you. Free specialist for a day, anyone?
    2. The $400k includes $350k of performance-related bonuses. To qualify, a certain number of Buttcoin must be sold via their exchange. And they’re never gonna sell that many. They might even never load that many Buttcoin into their exchange in the first place.
