How to Get a Job in Crypto (Even If You're New!)

[madmax]

Hey everyone!

So you wanna work in crypto but don’t know where to start? Don’t stress — the space is wild, fast-moving, and super open to newcomers if you’re curious and proactive. Here’s a quick guide to get your foot in the door:

1. Pick Your Lane

Crypto isn’t just for devs! There’s space for community managers, writers, designers, marketers, meme lords, data analysts — literally everyone. Figure out what you’re good at (or want to get good at) and lean into it.
2. Get Involved

Join Discords, DAOs, Telegrams, Twitter threads — wherever the conversation is. Start by being active, asking questions, helping out, even volunteering for small gigs. Many people land jobs just by being consistently helpful and present.
3. Build Your Online Presence

Post your thoughts, write threads, make content, or contribute to open-source. Show what you’re learning or building — it doesn’t have to be perfect. Crypto folks love seeing progress and passion.
4. Network Like a Human

Most jobs in crypto come from relationships, not resumes. Be genuine, reply to people’s tweets, show support, hop on community calls, DM people (respectfully). Connections are key.
5. Keep Learning

Whether it’s DeFi, NFTs, L2s, or smart contracts — stay curious. There are tons of free resources out there. Follow good accounts, read docs, take online courses, play with products.
Bonus Tip: Freelance First

Many people break in with part-time or freelance gigs. It’s a great way to build experience and prove yourself before landing a full-time role.

Crypto rewards action. You don’t need permission, just persistence. Start showing up, putting in the work, and things will start happening.
