One of the funny things that pulls me to web3 is that their websites already kinda look like this and I don’t have to do a lot of design work. Plus most of those apps don’t support mobile so no app dev!

Wow! I am thinking of starting in Mexico and then making my way further south. Web3 / Blockchain development is definitely on my list. Is there a way to follow what you've been working on? How/Why Brazil?

I think I have #1, #2 and #3 sorted out. I am not sure if another Big Tech job is an answer for me. Its either doing an indie business, starting a startup or joining one, but yeah #1, #2 and #3 help. Definitely need some time to decompress

Anyone else pushing their sabbatical for when the world finally opens up? I'd like to take some time off and decompress. Travel a little, learn a few things and eventually work on my side projects but the world being closed is a big me

Is this an advertisement problem? Does google have to advertise jobs? Does Snowflake? I’d assume that any CS grad would apply to all these firms. I certainly did when I was in university.
