The talent pool in crypto feels perpetually thin. There are only ~50-100 top people on the market at any given time -- and everyone is fighting for the same people. In parallel, some of the best talent with experience in crypto has either (1) retired or (2) started their own company. Meanwhile, the influx of new talent into the space is relatively low. We're starting to see it from payments/TradFi world, but these folks are learning crypto from 0 to 1 and it'll take a few months to ramp. The net result: a very thin, competitive talent pool. Max pain. Has been this way for 2-3 years and will continue unless we find a way to expand the pool and/or attract more folks from web2 tech.

is “how to get a job in crypto” a real question or a content strategy? lol 🤔 if you want a job in crypto aren’t you already deep enough *in* crypto to get how it works? (or at least curious enough to figure it out) feels like the real insight might be less about *how* to get in and more about *why* some people never do (asking as someone in talent who’s genuinely curious what people actually care about vs what we think they care about😅)

bullish on proof 🫶

is there a direct correlation between the number of tabs you bounce around all day and how good you are at your job? or... am I just doing this completely wrong? 🙄

RT!!!!

Umm, follow your dreams Yeah!

the year was 2021. my first week working in crypto. i had just learned what an NFT was. i spent $65 (with a debit card) on OneOf. no wallet. bought my NFT in USD. had to log into the platform to see it. aka… i didn’t own it 😭 i showed my team all proud. my manager (who had just sold his first punk for 98 ETH) said: “seems rare” “LFG!!” was i actually participating “in crypto”? not really. but the way my team hyped me up, i felt like i was. technically off-chain. spiritually on-chain. 🫶 but that’s the point. that’s how you turn “lol what’s a wallet” into “gm.”

this was a top indicator
