Are crypto careers worth it?

I was wondering if someone can share their experience or knowledge on how it is working in the crypto industry? What are the benefits of working in coinbase, crypto.com, cardano foundation etc over let's say a well respected fortune 500 company? I would assume job security is not that great. Are the salaries typically higher? Are you getting paid fully in fiat? Do you get high bonuses in crypto? How is the career progression compared to the rest of the market? Is the work life balance better? Are you feeling more respected? Any other positives / negatives?

Let me know of your thoughts if pursuing a career in the crypto field is a smart idea. Or if you're better off keeping crypto and career separate. In my mind, working in a field you have passion for and believe it can change the world is very appealing, but I just may be naive, don't know.
