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.

Hi fishes,

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

I started a new job just 7 weeks ago, but an opportunity for a dream job just suddenly and unexpectedly fell into my lap!

That being said… I’m going to feel bad leaving this new job so soon. I’m sure they’ll be disappointed and maybe even angry… is there any way to NOT burn bridges on my way out of this current job?
