- a4isms 4y agoHow should we respond if we interview for a non-crypto job, and when we can't get any background on the company, they explain that they're in "stealth mode" to protect the advantage of surprise? From time to time there are real startups that decide to fly under the radar until they're ready to show the world what they've built. Of course, many such companies turn out to be massive duds...

- 999900000999 4y agoJust interviewed with a crypto company, can confirm. Even "legitimate" companies with a web presence, customers, etc, come off as super sketchy. That said, for lower income people you'll be absolutely inundated with scams, a good friend of mine just hit me up cuz someone wanted to promise him for $100 or so a week, you'd somehow become a crypto millionaire. I actually think crypto in its entirety is a giant scam, there's just levels of sophistication to it. Not everyone's going to fall for give me $100 and I'll turn that into $10,000 , but a ton of people fell for buy a bunch of crypto coins and hold ,time the market and sell.
- vgel 4y agoI applied (and got a job and worked at for a bit) a stealth-mode startup and it felt like a scam. No web presence, nobody had it listed as their job on LinkedIn, a couple vague references to funding rounds online that mentioned a different business model (turns out they had pivoted), etc. Remote applications are weird.
