    How do I bridge the blockchain experience gap as a software developer? I keep getting rejected for blockchain jobs.

    My background is in traditional software development. I have four years of experience with JavaScript and Python. Recruiters want blockchain experience.

    I struggle to get that first chance. Has anyone here made a crypto job transition? Has anyone switched to a blockchain career from regular dev work?

    What is the best way to upskill for Web3?

    How can I build a portfolio that proves my value?

    I want advice or real stories about making this leap.

    The blockchain experience gap is real, but you can bridge it with focused steps. Your programming skills in JavaScript and Python give you a strong base for Web3 upskilling. You can contribute to open-source blockchain projects to gain hands-on experience. Join hackathons to build real projects and meet others making a crypto job transition. Certifications from ConsenSys or Blockchain Council help, but real project work matters more.

    Build a simple DApp or smart contract and share your work on GitHub or LinkedIn. Recruiters notice candidates who show initiative and document their learning.

    Keep building and sharing. You will close the blockchain experience gap.

    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
