Thinking About Transitioning from TradFi to DeFi – Need help!
anyone here made the jump from traditional finance to DeFi? I’m trying to figure out how to navigate the switch, especially with roles like DeFi analyst, risk manager, or smart contract developer popping up. But the whole path feels kinda murky.
For those who’ve done it:
What steps actually matter? Like, do I just grind blockchain courses or is there more to it?
Do TradFi skills (financial modeling, risk assessment) even translate? Or are we starting from scratch here?
How critical are certs in blockchain/smart contracts? Do employers care, or is it more about hands-on stuff?
Biggest hurdles you faced? And what resources/tools actually helped you level up? Share your war stories—would help a ton of us stuck in spreadsheets right now.
