I have an opportunity to start a role at a leading crypto-backed fiance fintech company. I want to leave consulting. Any thoughts on risks if exiting into a relatively new industry (like blockchain/ crypto based ones) and impact on career trajectory?

Crypto is extremely cyclical and we are likely at a peak before another Bitcoin winter. I would go into it clearheaded and with a backup plan.

Hey! Would you be open to chatting with me? I'm looking for exit opps in the blockchain and crypto space.

2017 grad so technically a 4th year. Lateraled to a CRE boutique in NYC that’s a major player. Learned quickly that my experience/knowledge/organization is not up to par (was a COG in the machine at prior firm). Just had EOY review and, though positive sounding, they’re dropping me to a 3rd year to ensure I’m not billing as a 4th year and able to do the work to learn/get up to par. I feel pretty okay about it (market salary deduction notwithstanding), but want to make sure I’m not being naive.
