I used to work at ConsenSys which recently laid off 13% of their workforce and I can tell you first hand they are a mess internally with senior leadership burning through cash. The company has zero management and favorites are left to do what ever they want. No wonder there is a crash, it was all one big ponzi scheme.
- latchkey 8y agoComments like this are interesting to me. I can see from your comment history here that you are pretty negative in what you have to say. I can see that you're also on a HB1 and a self taught engineer without a lot of experience. My advice to you is to take a step back and reflect on why you were let go. Regardless of the internal structure of Consensys, I don't think that blaming it on them or the big ponzi scheme of crypto is the answer. Reductions happen all the time across many different industries. Especially in technology. If anything, Consensys is doing the responsible thing and 'trimming the fat' when times get lean. Remember, there is still >1000 people that were not affected by the reduction. Look inwards before blaming outwards.
- pl0x 8y agoYou can look inwards as much as you would like but isn't it impossible to not see this entire industry as a ponzi scheme?
- latchkey 8y agoSorry, I do not see the entire cryptocurrency industry as a ponzi scheme. That said, I've been in it for a long time, for other reasons that have affected me personally [1]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgI0liAee4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgI0liAee4s
