I'm looking for my next gig. The backstory is simple: the company I worked for ran out of money, and took the hard decision to lay off a bunch of employees. I was one of them. The decision was a financial and not a personal one. I parted ways with that team on good terms.

find us a better venue, we’ll wait… gm from @ctrlshift_xyz 🇮🇹

Am I bummed I’m missing Berlin Blockchain week and Solana Summit Germany? Yes but also that’s my view from @ctrlshift_xyz. Beat that, Berlin!

Did you know that every time you edit a twitter post, the platform treats it as a new one, and deletes the views/engagements on the original one? So yeah, either re-read 17 times before posting, or learn how to live with the typos you made.

Here's another thing AI fucked up after em-dashes. RIP reasonable formatting 🪦

I was just invited to a corporate party to celebrate a company's 10th anniversary. They're charging for entry and for the drinks. Call me entitled but I find this to be in poor taste - especially knowing that the company will then use pictures from the party across social to demonstrate success. If you don't have money for a party, don't throw a party, as simple as that. Disclaimer: I'm on their mailing list because I inquired about their services once, they charged me a bunch of money for a consultation and after our meeting, I decided not to work with them because I didn't trust them and their values. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Italy is about to enter its Solana szn! 🤌 We're pulling up to @ctrlshift_xyz next week and gathering all the girlies for a special side event with our friends @solana_italy on June 15. Cute merch already packed! Ready for Naples? Sign up here: luma.com/fothpe6a

new job announcement: I just got a new job as head of marketing of an awesome crypto project! i didn't (yet) but if you saw this and thought, "damn, we just missed out on hiring a very experienced, crypto native marketer", then we should talk. in the meantime, go give some love and comments to my post about Solana Summit Germany. ty!

how to land your first crypto job (from women who've actually done it): 1. stop waiting until you "know enough." nobody in crypto knows enough. the space moves faster than any single person can learn. start contributing now. 2. your web2 skills are your superpower. marketing, design, ops, finance, writing - crypto projects are desperate for people who can actually execute, not just talk about tokenomics. 3. build in public. share what you're learning. write a thread about a protocol you're exploring. the bar is lower than you think and the visibility compounds fast. 4. join communities that share opportunities. not just job boards - actual group chats where people say "hey my team is hiring." (this is literally what our Telegram does.) 5. go to events. IRL connections still close more deals and land more jobs than any cold DM. even small side events count - that's where real relationships happen. 6. don't let "crypto bro culture" scare you away. the space needs you more than you need it. and communities like Sol Sisters exist to make sure you're not navigating it alone. bookmark this. share it with a friend who needs to hear it 💜

CT sucks balls, I swear. Me: Posts a random rant, points fingers, names names. CT: Gangs up on me for being a negative bitch; 20К views Also me: Posts a funny(ish) positive, upbeat video about something cool CT: Completely ignores me; barely 350 views. You all love to tell me when I'm doing things wrong but in reality all you care about is the drama and the interpersonal arguments so yeah, CT sucks balls. If you feel any shame or remorse, go give my video about Solana Summit Germany some love (and comments; mostly comments, please).

I'm missing @SuperteamDE's Solana Summit Germany this year - I have a scheduling conflict with a prior commitment. Am I bummed? You have no idea, the FOMO is real! But I know a lot of you are going - so as a public service I'll help you learn some German. Join me for a crash course in Solana-Deutsch so you know how to ask if any of the locals have seen @mert around. No ticket yet? Get it here: luma.com/solanasummitgermany Wunderbar! Gut gemacht!

business idea: duolingo days streak but for how many days you've been unemployed

so here's the thing. i don't get any reach unless i'm openly hating on someone, or praising someone (esp. if it's someone people like to hate). who are we hating on today, CT?

One of my recent posts blew up and got over 180,000 views, close to 1,300 reactions and 150 comments across X and LinkedIn. No biggie, right? But here's the thing: I'm an older millennial. I grew up without the internet - in fact, I was already in uni when internet access became a normal household thing and we stopped using prepaid dial-up. Back then, I could have gone on national TV and I still wouldn't have reached 180K people. Today I simply have to play with some algos, post something on social and I reach 180,000 strangers across the globe. It gives me pause how many lives I've lived in a single timeline.

Yep, that’s us!
