I have an offer from Coinbase and I need to pick one of the two teams, both of which I think are pretty awesome. 1. Core crypto/blockchain team which works on Defi applications like staking etc. 2. Trading team which handles buy/sell orders, options/margin trading etc. Which of these teams would be better if I want to grow as an engineer? Which one of these projects would look more impressive on the resume? #coinbase #crypto #trading Blind Tax TC: 260k YOE: 6
I would say go with Trading team. That experience is easily applicable in other fin firms and even adtech n ecommerce. Those skills are basically more easily adaptable outside. Of course if you like to deeply work with crypto stack then take the other. Just my two cents as someone who knows this space well.
That’s what I thought as well. Both roles are sort of a niche, which is a good thing. Crypto could be a gamble where, if it catches on, the skills I acquire there might become very valuable.
Fyi crypto is nothing special. Its the trading side of it that makes it special. Core crypto and staking is a research area with a lot already done.
What did you decide OP?
Please update your tc and yoe
Yes, of course
