Interviewing with a Bitcoin company?
Here’s a 3 step prep to tighten your signal before the call.
1) Your elevator pitch (1-2 minutes)✨
• Who you are: Bitcoiner + role + lane (what you’re great at)
• How you’ve grown: 1–2 steps in your progression
• What you’ve done lately: most recent impact
• Why you’re here: why this company, why this role, why now
Quick template:
“I’m a [role] who specializes in [lane]. Over the last [X] years I’ve grown from [earlier scope] to [current scope], most recently [1 measurable outcome]. I’m excited about this role because [mission + problem], and I’d love to help you [result you can own].”
2.) 3-5 Proof-of-Work stories (STAR)
Bitcoin teams care about stories that share signal.
Build a small story bank you can pull from instantly:
• Ownership: you drove a result end-to-end
• Cross-functional execution: aligned people, shipped
• Prioritization: chose the right work under pressure
• Customer impact: solved a real pain, improved retention/support/revenue
• Conflict to clarity: navigated tension and delivered
STAR prompts (bullets, not essays):
• Situation: what was happening?
• Task: what outcome was yours?
• Action: what you did (decisions + tradeoffs)
• Result: what changed (numbers, time saved, risk reduced)
3.) Show real conviction (research + mission + teammate energy)
You've envisioned yourself in the role. Now help them picture you as a teammate.
Come ready with:
• A practical mission tie-in: one real way Bitcoin has shaped how you build, work, or make decisions
• A first-30-days approach: what you’ll learn, measure, and improve first
• A teammate-level question: the kind that signals ownership and long-term fit
Strong closer question options / examples from you to the interviewer:
• “Is there anything from my answers that I could clarify in further detail?"
• "What qualities do other members of the team have that have made them successful here?"
• "Looking back, what is one piece of advice you wish you'd had when you started at this company?"
👉 Pro Tips: Tie one question back to something that was mentioned earlier that you want to dive deeper on. Turn genuine curiosity into insights to help you secure the position. Flip it back when you can to further instill why you're the best fit for the role.
