might look easy to write contracts getting a job is a hustle. Life isn’t all sweet there are bitter parts of it. After 4 months of vigorous learning, there’s stress and it's hard to job hunt. It’s good to know early it's not until you complete the 16 weeks that you can start applying.
Don’t be limited the first 8weeks are for focusing on learning but the rest are learning and building your own projects. Know msg.sender and now we’re in the account of impersonification.
two sets of people at the end: people with lots of offers at the end and the other people who’ll be doing freelancing and not increasing their horizon. It won’t be easy for them to get full-time roles(average).
Don't be the latter as you won’t get to increase your knowledge in bounties & hackathons and it has him having a gap...junior solidity developer.
in your first role you’re not suppose to put 100% in what you’re going to be paid but what you’re going to learn. At AaveGotchi there are tasks and the CEO is the best...he’s on every end of solidity code./optimizing code, checking Designers & FE. It pushes him to learn more or boots productivity
having a full-time role makes it difficult to learn something new
don't earn KE go to Dubai or work for international companies... the cost of living(life has bitter leaf)
The best time to accumulate skills is now not until you get a role...write solidity. People might be liking different tech ends from others. I like renewable energy check technical end of it...technology behind but haven’t checked it since last year
Took him a short time to learn Ethers.js & Hardhat
Join a hackathon if you can...you know a lot of basics that can help you. You’re ready for hackathons. The best way to land roles is through visibility
Github is your achievement list
the sweetest job is the one you don’t apply for. Ask people in the previous cohorts how they landed their previous roles. (acquisition) skills they saw is what they want that’s why they reached out you just have to prove to them. There are levels to it. Nick knows him through visibility e.g Twitter engagement. Someone trusted him to learn within a short period of time.
apply for jobs frequently: smart contract engineer
Visibility is everything
we’re here to crumb 1years experience into 4months.
internships are hard to find: was rejected a lot and he realized he’s not a junior solidity dev. A developer is rated based on their code.
