Thank you @EthereumDenver & all the people I met for the good times 🏔 I'm so grateful to be in a space where we are all frens & support one another 💚 You web3 folks rock! If you have pics we took together, feel free to send them my way 👀🙏🏼

@0xCorina you got this girl 🙌🏻 its wild out there

I have been looking for a non-tech role for the past few months, and this is my *very honest* experience, in 10 bullet points: 1. If you want to land a role right after leaving your current one, start looking 3 months in advance, it might take a while. 2. There aren't that many roles in the market atm, and online applications are a waste of time 99.99% of the time (thanks to AI and not only). I tried to get opportunities primarily through my network 3. I never faced this in crypto until this year, but there's actually many male-only projects who exclusively hire men, even if your credentials & skills are way better than those candidates. Saw the pattern after it happened to me a few times, and it's a hard pill to swallow. 4. Around 65% of the roles I interviewed for ended up not hiring anyone because they changed their mind about hiring. Sometimes, I was told this before the last interview round that we scheduled. 5. Some weird experiences include: - founder didn't show up to the interview (same founder, twice) - founder asked for a written blog as a task, ghosted me then posted that blog lol - loads of founders who simply ghost right after asking for a *free* detailed 3-page marketing strategy 6. I'd say 80% of the jobs right now are not to be found online, but through recruiters. A lot of projects don't seek for crypto-native anymore, they want web2 xp (even if on the job ad it literally says "crypto-native") 7. However, 80% of recruiters disappear after applying on your behalf and you have to constantly ping for feedback. There is only 1 recruiter I found to be great to work with, because she always replies & tries to give feedback and that's 8. It's normal to get rejected and not be a good fit for everyone, but it's hard to adjust your CV/strategy/etc when you get zero feedback 90% of the time. 9. This is all real data. All the projects/roles I ever applied for are heavily organized in my Notion. I spend 3-6 hours researching every detail about these projects to prepare for interviews - their business model, roadmap, team structure, etc. I recommend you do the same - become the expert in their product. 10. Because I wasn't getting much feedback, I started talking with founders & marketers I respect, ex-colleagues, career mentors and even my ex-boss to share this and ask what is it that I could do better. Big thanks to everyone who took their time for this! _________________________________________ All in all I interviewed for 24 roles. The paradox is that on one hand, I have several friends who are hard-working, passionate about crypto and have good credentials who just like me have been unlucky with the job market. On the other hand, I know projects that somehow keep hiring people who seem great at first, but end up firing them for performance after 1-3 months... Thanks for reading this! I decided to share at the advice of one of my fellow marketers, because I'm sure many will relate. If you're building a cool product and you need a passionate marketer, my DMs are open. And if you're looking for a role, comment here. I stay in touch with many teams and will happily recommend you for a role. ❤️

the older i get the more i realize how simple a good life really is. wake up early. lift 3x a week. walk 30 minutes a day. eat real food. drink water. sleep well. read. obsess over something that matters. spend time with loved ones. avoid drama. be grateful. you’ll already be healthier and happier than 95% of people.

This is the coldest life advice you’ll hear

crypto doesn’t have strong communities. we like to pretend we do but until we reach community levels like lego, star wars, harley davidson, lulu lemon, etc. we’re just pretending. if you want to build your communities and your project to last, ask: what do people do together besides watch the chart and truly aim to build towards your community’s wants & needs.

hey friends, looking to pick up some work: backend, smart contracts, or technical writing, full or part time are okay, flexible on salary, but full remote and weekends off are hard req's 💜

@0xNairolf Ive heard @defiapp is working on sth like this

dream ux: - no gas fees visible to the user - no idea what chain you’re on - no popups - social logins - one app store with all apps in one place - tokens show up as one thing, not 5 wrapped versions - tutorials built into the app - easy onramps and offramps

Nike: Everyone is an athlete Apple: Everyone is an artist Shopify: Everyone is an entrepreneur YouTube: Everyone is an storyteller Cursor: Everyone is a developer crypto: everyone is an exit liquidity.

🤣

one of the realest takes ive seen for a while using community as exit liquidity is sad

shitty things that i have learned about this industry working fulltime and being at ethdenver: - everyone is tryna dump on everyone - everyone is scamming (so so sad, but very true) - a lot of founders/VCs do OTC deals more than you realize - community is exit liquidity - it's getting boring - same dapps - only a few (maybe 20%) real people - some folks are real cypherpunk and embody ideologies of eth/btc/sol - too many dudes in our industry - some communities are not that inclusive at all (as they portray) - never believe what people are saying on CT: there's no great ai agent, ai usecase, 10 other categorical usecases. - we are not planning for mass adoption anymore, it's 10 years far, maybe more. - all of crypto is less than 100k people, and there are very less MAUs - the onchain builders and users get fcked the most overall, everyone is racing to get rich quick and stay in the industry as a KOL; there's a lot of liquidity and money, but only whales, cabals, insiders know it. btw, that's how most industries are, ours is just too too fast paced.

are you living life or doing a to-do list? and is it your to-do list or someone else’s?

@ManOfFrogs @lzminsky it gave me anxiety just seeing this
