Looking to transition career into the Bitcoin industry

[gtuvell]

Hi everyone,

I am an entrepreneur (3 startups) and a Technical Product Manager with extensive experience in building innovative authentication, identity, and digital payment solutions. As a co-founder of multiple startups, I have a proven track record of driving product development from concept to launch.

I'm eager to transition into the Bitcoin industry, where I aim to apply my skills. My personal experience with buying and holding Bitcoin, learning and researching mining, following experts like Jeff Booth, Ben Perrin, Gary Cardone, Mark Moss and others has fueled my passion for bitcoin technology.

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!

You can start with the "Careers" section of many exchanges website where they've got tons of openings and depending on the role that suits you. The qualifications are there and the steps on how to apply is there. Actually, there's really no difference at all when you're trying to land a job in the Bitcoin/crypto industry with the convention or traditional jobs that you are applying for. I can't say if there are a lot of roles that are for part time but start out with the known exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, etc.

You have to take it easy and first try to learn first because if you are new to bitcoin, there is of course still many things for you to learn because even if you know other things, your knowledge may not apply here and a reason you need to first learn from people who know better about bitcoins from this forum. If you look to transition with your pride into Bitcoin, you may end up not learning enough and you can be scammed because of the danger you put yourself due to incomplete knowledge.

Even if you are the CEO of any startup you have to be humble enough to learn from people here.

Obviously you can start with basically advertising yourself.

Starting here in forum, you can post about yourself and your services that you are willing to offer. That is if you want almost a freelancing job. But if you want to be contract-based and you want to work in a proper company then you should seek out companies who are related to crypto. I say good luck in all your endeavors!

If you are smart and have special skills, you can apply for it in the IT department, especially in keeping exchanges stolen by thieves and you know exchanges are very large pools and are still seen as weak by them.

If you do it well and correctly then many people will feel safe and comfortable putting their money to invest and trade on the exchange. A lot of money will come in where you work. Don't be like the case of Bitforex which has not been clear until now and is still not accessible until now.

Probably everyone goes into a job without exactly knowing everything.

It’s okay because people learn as they work. It’s a process of learning all throughout your career that makes you a better employee. I think a lot of companies would be eager to hire someone who is not too proud to admit his mistakes and learn from them.

I'm not sure what are the "Bitcoin industry" you mean because Bitcoin itself is a non-profit project, so do you want to work without get paid? just relying on donation.

Your best chance might working on centralized exchanges or payment processors.

I think when it comes to jobs, there are more opportunity if you're working for altcoins project, although the risk you can get scammed or get paid with worthless coins.

Wih any job or any career or any industry you are about to enter, it is always best to start with doing your resume. Introduce yourself, put all your strengths there, your experience and skills to offer. Then just apply in different places and see where that leads you. I am sure you will meet plenty of people that could offer you jobs in crypto related fields.

Nowadays, there are many websites that provide you platforms to register your account, describe about your skills, share your CV, and find jobs in Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency market.

Try with many sites if you need jobs.

Cryptocurrency job list

[Mrbluntzy]

There are lot of opportunity in blockchain industry, if you are looking for publicity, start your topic on the service board. Buy a copper account and hire someone on the forum to design a professional thread with image for you, so that if you get a job that was professionally handled, you add it as a reference on your service thread. If people sees your other accomplish jobs, they can hire you if your service is needed.  Go on other social media like TikTok, telegram, facebook, Twitter, medium, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, etc advertise your service service in those places too. Send proposal to other new upcoming crypto project.

Look what you should do is invest yourself into the BTC market if you're so sure about your skills and if you're not that much sure that you should work on your skills more so that you can gain the confidence to invest your own assets first.

It's very easy to give advice on someone else's money but when it comes to your own money then your real skills will be tested. It will be more beneficial for you also because when you'll bear the pressure of losing your money then you'll work hard on your skills and in order to improve them.

Option 1: Apply as an employee on Bitcoin companies

Option 2: Be active on X/Twitter and interact with project/company founders

Option 3: Contribute to Bitcoin software on GitHub, then wait for people to hire you

Best option: do all 3

Hey I have got some business I mean projects in the past by advertising at "services" section of this forum where I have advertised about the services I can offer and I got few good projects I have got support project, job as moderator and campaign manager as well. Give it a try but since yours is a newbie ranking you might not be able to add images unless you upgrade to copper member.

With Bitcoin adoption continuing to increase year after year, many people who had careers in other industries are turning to this industry. Because they know the opportunity to build a career in this industry is very promising and will be an extraordinary and profitable experience for them.
However, it is very important for them to have sufficient knowledge and understanding before starting and also recognize the risks involved before finding a suitable and capable one for you.
And it's good not to completely switch to this industry, even if you have the ability and have a lot of money, you should not fully commit to a career in this industry. Because in my opinion, even though you have several careers, you can still have a career in this industry and run everything well if you can manage it without having to sacrifice the career you already have.

That's true. I don't think there's pride in anything the OP has written here and he's neither persuading anyone to forcefully believe in him but that's left for anyone who wants to engage him further. The best we can do for him in this particular thread is to assist him with options or avail him with the opportunities and where he can tap into them. Everyone on the forum today, I believe, came in for a purpose, one of which ours maybe similar or different. So if the OP is here to sell his strength and skills to the forum members to get more opportunities, it is okay to me that he does that.

Aside that, you can always advise OP to deep dive into a list of known blockchain/crypto job listing sites such as:

1. CryptoJobsList
2. BitcoinJobs
3. Crypto.Jobs
4. CryptocurrencyJobs
5. Crypto-Careers
6. Wellfound
7. Dream Startup Job
8. UpWork

From the information he provided, he can easily fit into the blockchain business because the industry is vast and not limited to buying and selling Bitcoin. I know of many Blockchain projects (startups and established) that are looking for skills such as his and just like @tabas said, exchanges are one of such reliable companies he can easily get a job to start from. Transitioning to blockchain might actually require some learning no doubt but he can learn on the job which is what I consider the most effective learning process. Simply consider his post as some kind of dropping his resume.

He might also need some form of learning or at least basic refining to get started with investing in Bitcoin. A lot of knowledge have already been shared in this forum with respect to how to effectively invest in and manage Bitcoin portfolio for optimal result. The DCA method is an example of such methods with the aspect of setting up emergency funds being one fine addition I learnt by being active in this forum.

Your best bet is to go to local and international crypto meetups and conferences, meet people who work in the bitcoin, crypto and blockchain industry and try to make a connection with them, networking is the key to success and building a good career. When you don't have experience, you usually need someone to give you a recommendation but there is also another way, to influence the company where you work to implement cryptocurrencies or to build a project around crypto, motivate them to step in the crypto world, show them the pros and cons of cryptocurrencies and show them the reasons why crypto is the future and they shouldn't miss such an important opportunity.

Welcome. You have a very solid background and that would make it easier for you to transition. Go on Google and search for  accelerators, incubators, and other similar programs whose area of focus is in start-ups around Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and blockchain. In my professional life I have found incubators to be very enriching when looking for a way to scale up and upgrade myself in my professional field. This applies also to you who want to transition into the Bitcoin industry period the benefits of incubator and our accelerator's is the mentorship and resources that are going to be available for you to explore as you make your transition. And oh, there's also funding too.

With the increase in the value of bitcoin many people are turning to bitcoin they are choosing bitcoin as a career so want to convert to career in bitcoin industry it is a good move but must have good experience about bitcoin. If you don't know anything, the risk will be high. Before starting your career know about its pros and cons. If you analyze the market well everything will be easy. Bitcoin has always been a good currency but the risks are easier to manage if you know them.
