Anyone wanna share how they got up to speed with Blockchain, how long it took, and the difficulty of it (starting fresh)?

Just curious, as it still feels like a fresh "industry"

Our consulting, essentials, and developer badges are pretty good courses if you use them correctly.

I mean to follow the course, do all the labs, then use them as inspiration to continue tinkering with blockchain

YouTube. Podcasts

Stay away from anything created by a bank, not blockchain.

I joined a crypto development team anonymously. Many are desperate for help and run by inexperienced teams that do not have the skills or experience we do in this industry for delivering high quality commercial software. First started making trivial code contributions. Quickly demonstrated my skill set and wrote them a much better whitepaper than they were capable of. Became a core developer. Now I lead the development team.

I’m leaving consulting for full time crypto work soon. Yes, in the middle (hopefully the end, but we’ll see) of a bear market. Demand for these skills are plentiful, no travel required other than conferences, and I love the work. If it doesn’t work out, I’m pretty sure consulting will still be there for me.

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?

Have on offer in hand with a better company for the role customer support specialist L3 . Should I take up this offer ? Or i can stay in Manual Testing my whole life ?
