Over twice market rate for a Toronto DevOps job, how to find the catch? (web.archive.org)

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?

having accidentally interviewed with a couple of awful blockchain companies in the past, the catch may be that the position being described doesn’t exist at all. they can always just claim the position is full or you don’t qualify for it and effectively rugpull you into a much worse position with much lower compensation. or, much less legally (but these sorry fucks are already in the Caymans so who cares), you might receive your employment contract only to find out your entire salary is in worthless tokens they control, and the Token Equity Package is just there to make you think some of your pay will be in actual money. none of this is uncommon in the blockchain industry.
