Seriously, I don't care about the market going down. Having your professional value sharply going down and losing leverage in the job market is way worse than just losing money

Seriously, I don't care about the market going down. Having your professional value sharply going up and gaining leverage in the job market is way stranger than just losing money

why don't you apply to web2?
web3 is a meme anyway and everyone knows it.
you only develop for bull markets so their token can go up in price and founders can unload on retail.
come on, anon. everyone knows that.

Damn, sorry bro. Who could have possibly seen this coming? It's rough when you bet your entire future on a speculative asset and lose.
On the bright side, there's always webdev. If it's "so easy" I'm sure you can brush up on your nodejs and fix my broken builds for me at a $60k/yr entry-level position.

The only revolution that matters are the ones which involves blood and gunpowder. Web "revolutions" last as much as a fart in the wind

if you "know crypto" and you need some employer to pay you, then you don't know crypto and you have no skills and hopefully no employer would hire you

lmao, OP = REKT
all jokes aside, OP how the fuck are not making well over $200k as a block chain engineer? You must be junior level. Most jobs I see for block chain engineers pay into the several hundred thousand dollar range. At least they did. I still think learning web3 will have a huge pay off down the road, as it will most likely catch on.

[Anonymous No.49715342]

test

[Anonymous No.49715418]

ok im not banned for some reason, fuck you nigger jannys

To OP, just get a regular job nigger??

I was hired to work with Solidity/Fullstack as a junior and am just straight up chillin'

I'm self taught and have projects in obscure shit like assembly and C, so I can get basically any job.

My pitch is not "I know language x and y" it's "I'm a High IQ fucking Chad, I can learn anything, hire me and you will be before the god of code on the daily"

And that's how I make phat bucks from my home

Now i just need to get a gf and breed aryan babys into her, i hope i dont turn 25 before getting one

[Anonymous No.49715695]

based, I'm going to use similar pitches this summer to try my hand at getting one

why do people want corporate lawyers when the economy is crashing?

[Anonymous No.49716336]

Reading every "web3" "engineer" on this thread has truly confirmed for me that there are no web3 engineers, just brainlet greedy larpers.

Most likely most of the so called web3 engineers don't even know what caching, circuit-breaking, monitoring , and testing is, let alone scalability, product building or anything that would be remotely employable.

Enjoy the job search, it's going to take a long time for someone as retarded as the average web3 engineer

We have never been this busy ever. Corporate lawyers are dying / retiring massively right now and there is no supply from young people. So a shrinking supply of corporate lawyers at a steady deal flow means, incrddible work load at higher margins.
