Pantera Compensation Survey 2024
VeradiVerdict - Issue #297
Negotiating compensation in crypto can be challenging due to the lack of benchmarks. Pantera aims to make compensation data accessible to everyone in the ecosystem!
Last year, we ran the blockchain industry's largest compensation survey with over 1,600 respondents across 77 countries! It has become the most robust crypto compensation repository ever assembled. This year, we're aiming even higher!
Trends so far:
Increase in crypto-based payments
Decrease in remote work
Are you observing these trends in your work?
Participate in our compensation survey and receive access to the complete anonymized dataset.
Take the survey here! And don’t forget to share with your colleagues!
