Job security in crypto is rare, and everyone is doing their best to navigate tough decisions, like layoffs, while keeping companies afloat. Founders often talk about hiring as the most crucial aspect of building a company, but it’s never straightforward. If you’ve been laid off in the last six months, reach out to Zach Smits at The Crypto Recruiters for a Resume and LinkedIn audit, and we’ll help you bounce back stronger! #web3jobs #blockchainrecruitment #cryptolinkedin

Here's a 30-second recap of the most recent episode of Just Shilling with the amazing Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos. Understanding the language of crypto is essential for excelling in interviews and professional roles, especially in legal contexts. Keeping up with the industry's evolving terminology ensures confident communication. In house lawyers work directly for a company, while outside counsel refers to law firms hired for specialized legal matters. In the crypto space, it is critical that outside counsel fully understands and appreciates the industry. From podcasts to whitepapers, there are many ways to learn about crypto. A technical background is not necessary; hands on experimentation and curiosity go a long way toward gaining expertise. In crypto, a deep passion for and understanding of the technology can often outweigh traditional qualifications. A strong appreciation for the industry and its potential can help secure a role, even without a conventional legal background. Going into interviews with a deep understanding of the company’s business model can make all the difference. Preparation helps candidates stand out when they can clearly articulate the business. Conversations with crypto skeptics, especially from traditional finance, can help refine arguments and strengthen understanding of the technology’s potential. A deep understanding of the ethos and potential use cases of the technology allows for better communication with founders, investors, and other key stakeholders, even without being a tech expert. Being intellectually curious is key to success in the crypto space. A genuine interest in understanding the technology can open doors and foster meaningful connections with industry leaders. Utilizing various resources, such as YouTube videos, podcasts, and online tutorials, helps build a solid foundation in crypto knowledge. Engaging with community forums and platforms can enhance understanding. Understanding the various perspectives within the crypto landscape whether from traditional finance or emerging technologies can enhance advocacy for crypto's potential and foster better collaboration across sectors.

Incubators and accelerators, like 1871 and the Chicago Blockchain Center, support the city’s innovation landscape, helping new crypto and blockchain businesses develop. ✅Crypto-Friendly Regulations: While U.S. regulations around crypto are still evolving, Illinois has shown interest in embracing blockchain technology. The state’s adoption of the Illinois Blockchain Initiative in 2017 signaled an openness to promoting blockchain solutions across various sectors. ✅Access to Talent: I live here 😂 ✅Cost of Living: Compared to other hubs like New York or San Francisco, Chicago offers a lower cost of living while still providing access to top-tier talent, making it attractive for both startups and established firms.
