I do wonder how future employers will view working at a lot of these companies in the future once the hype is gone and they're out of business (not just confined to blockchain/cryptocurrency stuff). Right now it's easy to find work because there's a lot of easy money propping up companies of dubious worth, but at some point that's got to stop.
- Drdrdrq 9y agoGiven the lack of developers in general I can't imagine this being an issue. Besides, most of the work at "blockchain companies" is just your old boring engineering.
- gknoy 9y agoLet's imagine that Lyft, or Pinterest, or Yahoo end up failing for $BusinessReasons. I don't think future employers would hold that against you, an employee, especially since you've surely been able to build skills that are useful for more than that domain. (E.g., my company's domain is telecom, but nearly all of the work I do in my job is building microservices and UI apps that consume them -- hardly domain specific.) I think the only time you'd need to worry would be if you were working for a company that turned out to be profoundly unethical (such as the one we've been reading about these past few weeks). Regular engineers probably had nothing to do with most of that, but I'd not be surprised if some future employers asked some questions about that.
