The upside is that Coinbase is very clearly trending towards substantial layoffs if the market doesn’t recover, and if she did join now, she’d have been straight back out the door in the first layoff. Therefore, while this is painful for her now, it’ll hopefully be for the greater good long term: being at a company, like Coinbase, during a downturn, is an awful experience that would be more harmful to her longterm career than this situation. Hopefully she’s able to find another opportunity with a company that isn’t facing economic crisis, and a few months from now, she’ll be thankful to have dodged a Coinbase shaped bullet.
