There are much more important things about #Bitcoin than its price, but it’s fun to call this period Shleptember, Uptober, Movember. 📈Maybe even Moonvember? 😄🌙🚀
I really enjoyed this chat with @Robin Seyr If you’re looking for work in Bitcoin and want to learn more about Bitvocation, check it out! ⬇️⬇️
I continuously struggle with this decision… Should we include the job listings of CEX’s in our #bitcoin-only job feed? If you’re a subscriber to the BitvocationFeed on Telegram, please help us with your vote. On one hand they are an essential part of the ecosystem and might be an opportunity to get your foot in the door of the industry. On the other hand, they are not Bitcoin companies, they are not run by Bitcoiners (with some exceptions) and they certainly do not look to hire Bitcoiners specifically. (Plus they do not need our help with getting their job listings in front of Bitcoiners.) So, personally, I’m leaning towards NOT including them. I’m afraid that the job listings of real Bitcoin companies, who do need and appreciate our help, will get lost amongst all the CEX jobs, and not get the visibility they deserve.

Gm ☀️ Best part of my day: opening the #Bitvocation Slack with my morning coffee and brainstorming ideas with my team 🥰 @Mindaugas @eric image
I didn’t expect to have to do KYC here on Nostr (@primal ). #noob question: Is adding my LN ⚡️ address in my profile not enough? image
DISCOUNT CODES FOR CONFERENCES Your network is one of your most important assets when it comes to finding work in Bitcoin. Besides connecting online and attending local meet-ups, industry conferences are the best way for jobseekers to connect with potential employers in person. Conferences can get pricey though, so we are currently working on creating relationships and getting discount codes for the Bitvocation audience for as many Bitcoin conferences as possible. For now we will collect them in a pinned post in the BitvocationFeed on Telegram, but we're also working on a proper conference overview on our new website, which will launch soon. Here are our first two collaborations: BALTIC HONEY BADGER - August - Latvia Get 10% off with discount code BITVOCATION The Mining Conference - September - U.S. Get 21% off with discount code BITVOCATION Shoutout to these two event organisers for being the first to colloborate with us! image
If you’re looking for job security, don’t work in #Bitcoin. The Bitcoin job market is young and volatile. 📈 It’s very closely linked to the Bitcoin market cycles and jobs come and go with the ups and downs. 📉 Most companies in Bitcoin are startups. Most startups don’t make it. 📊 Some teams hire too aggressively, only to notice later that they miscalculated and have to let you go again. Be prepared. If you want to be part of a world changing technology and you can handle all these ups and downs, then Bitcoin is for you.

Here’s the recording of my talk at the Bitcoin Conference in Sofia last month, on Finding Work In #Bitcoin  Hope you find it useful and please share it with your friends if you know anyone who’d love to transition out of their fiat job! 🧡
🟢 New roles are opening up for the BTX - Bitvocation Talent Exchange 🟢 These are part-time, temporary positions without financial rewards. The goal of those roles is to give you the opportunity to put your first Bitcoin job on your cv while you are still working a fiat job.

We are also starting a writers collective for our upcoming platform, so if you enjoy writing and editing Bitcoin content and want to join a community - contact us through the dedicated form.

Hello Nostr 👋🏻 Time to start contributing here… Anyone work in Bitcoin here? Or wants to? I noticed many people want to work in Bitcoin, but don’t know how to start. So I started asking people who already work in the space, how they found their #firstjobinbitcoin so others can learn from them. This little passion project is called Bitvocation and my first guest was Jan from Bitcoinerjobs.com Much more to come - I hope this will be of value to some career starters or career switchers!
