To transition into blockchain finance, follow these clear steps:

Learn Blockchain Basics: Take courses like Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Explained on Udemy or Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies on Coursera to understand DeFi, tokenomics, and blockchain finance.

Use Crypto Tools: Familiarize yourself with platforms like Uniswap and Aave to learn decentralized exchanges and lending. Track market data with Messari and CoinGecko.

Join Communities: Participate in forums such as r/cryptocurrency on Reddit, ETHGlobal on Slack, and DeFi Pulse on Discord to learn from others and network.

Network and Learn from Mentors: Connect with crypto finance professionals on LinkedIn. Attend blockchain events and Twitter Spaces to get advice from experts.

Work on Projects: Start small freelance projects related to crypto finance on Upwork or Gitcoin to gain hands-on experience.

Stay Updated: Follow news sites like CoinDesk and The Block. Listen to podcasts like Unchained to keep up with industry trends.

Engage on ArtOfBlockchain.Club: Stay active on ArtOfBlockchain.Club forum for continuous industry updates, discussions, and brainstorming with experts in the field.

By following these steps, you will build the skills and network needed to succeed in blockchain finance.

It's great that you're shifting your career towards Web3 and blockchain, but I understand the challenge of not getting interview opportunities.

Here’s a direct answer: your finance experience is valuable, but you need to focus on areas that directly link finance with blockchain, like DeFi or crypto asset management.

Start by learning how blockchain applies to finance. Focus on areas like tokenized assets, DeFi protocols, or crypto accounting. These fields often need financial expertise and are more open to people from traditional finance backgrounds. Learning tools like Python for financial analysis or smart contract auditing can also help.

Look for roles in crypto finance that don’t require coding but leverage your financial skills, such as risk management or crypto accounting. Networking with professionals in these areas can also open up opportunities. Keep pushing; the right role will come.

Thank you both so much for your insights! Here's the thing. I already know about Defi, I have some money in a liquidity pool at Uniswap, I have exchanged tokens there, I have taken loans, not in AAVE but another platform, I mean, I know the basics, of course, I've done all of this for myself, not a company. It's true thou that I am not active in communities, I used to be, in a local reddit sub, but I got bored of it. In my city there are no crypto events to attend, so that's somehow far for me. Now, in terms of my expertise, I've worked in finance, health, hospitality, retail, real state, through all these industries, I've learned that product change, procedures change, but how a business runs, is always the same. I believe I can bring that to blockchain. For example, I'm seeing a lot of posts about how crypto companies are going to start a hiring rally with the new bullrun, I keep saying "it's too late for that! Companies should already be ready for bullrun, it's basic planning", yet, as people in finance agree with me, most companies are in that stage. That's what I can bring to the table, how to make a business profitable, sustainable, give it structure. I don't need to know the technicalities or coding. But it seems that for those positions, they would only hire people with experience in the industry. I think in a ten years old industry, there's only so many people with experience, not everyone can hire them. Anyway, I will take into account your comments, maybe I can find the place where I can bring my A-game. Thank you both again.
