I have been working in crypto / blockchain for years. Crypto projects simply cannot find engineers, it is impossible to hire people with these skills. You will make more money as a software engineer in crypto than you will anywhere else other than FAANG. And one major benefit is crypto companies are decentralized and almost always remote - as a developer in a foreign country you can make multiples what you could in a standard software firm.
Don’t listen to the HN haters and nocoiners who have been telling lies for years. This is one of the most exciting and interesting industries you can work in. Keep an open mind and see what positions are available at the top coins on coingecko.com.

- seibelj 6y agoI provide services to a top 15 crypto exchange named Poloniex. Check out https://Poloniex.careers https://Poloniex.careers We are fully remote and hire people all over the world. We do not care where you live. We want talented people. But even outside exchanges, looking at projects, I know people who wrote code for posted projects and were paid in tokens that became very highly valued. My recommendation is to get involved in a project and see what they can pay. If you are skilled you will be rewarded. In the US it’s standard rates plus token payments which are liquid much sooner than stock options.
