Looking to transition career into the Bitcoin industry

[pakhitheboss]

What you mean by Bitcoin industry? As Bitcoin is not an industry but a digital currency. If you want to create a product surrounding Bitcoin then you have do your own research. The problem. There are many projects already available to cater the needs of users using Bitcoin but there can be more as technology keeps on changing everyday. The biggest problem as per my understanding that Bitcoin is facing is scaling issue. If you can work out a solution to this issue then you get a lot of users for your product.

Does anyone have advice on how to start working in this space? I'm open to part-time consulting roles to start, with a long-term goal of contributing full-time to a forward-thinking Bitcoin company.

Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you!

As suggested by someone earlier, you should find and apply for open positions on company websites such as exchanges or other platforms, you can also check on the websites of cryptocurrency projects because they also often hire new employees. If you can meet their requirements, you might land a job in this industry.

There are also websites such as Crypto Jobs where you can find jobs and open positions for different cryptocurrency-related companies and websites where you can apply and submit your CV and see if they are interested in having you.

Other than that, you might also try service providing platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr where you can provide your services to firms or individuals wanting to get tasks or jobs related to cryptocurrencies done.

There are many possibilities inside crypto market to stsrt working if you are already skilled on technological matters. Entrepreneurs tend to develop their own cryptocurrencies or launch their own crypto services such as exchanges, casinos and lending platforms. Although the opportunities are many, you must be also aware that competition is also present in large scale.

In order to develop a creative and innovative concept of business, you have to think by yourself to come up with the idea. After all, it wouldn't be a creative and innovative idea if people here on this forum had already the answer for this question.

Since you are already familiarized with the sector, it should worth to try getting a job opportunity with someone you already know from past jobs you worked on.

Well, OP, it looks like you have some quite skills and experience, and surely you can apply it in the bitcoin or crypto currency field, but the thing is, if you want to do some crypto stuff and transition to it and become full-time, then expect that you will become a freelancer. Yes, because not many companies are built solely for crypto currency, so there's no company you can apply to. Crypto currency is pure freelancig, meaning you are the one that will make your own money and tasks, depending on what you want to do, trading, holding, doing crypto projects, etc. I'm sure you can find something that fits your knowledge, skills, and experience; you just have to find it. Also,  remember the risk of going full-time in crypto; the profit will not be as stable as in a corporate setting; your profit will depend on how you do it and how hard you work.

Good luck to your endeavors and I think that you're going to be just fine with it, switching to crypto is fairly easy in my opinion, you already got the experience for this kind of thing already, pretty sure that you'll never have a hard time adjusting, maybe because it's tech that the fast pace speed of the industry would be new to you but other than that, you will be just fine. Who knows, this might be your biggest break just yet.

So it will be nice if you spend some time studying about the area you want to get involved in. The Bitcoin Industry is massive , so you have to identify the area you want to venture in. After that, you can apply for a job but the area this will help you to gain more experience and develop your skills. Bitcointalk also has vital information that can help you learn about the industry.
