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.

Your experience in industries like finance, retail, and real estate is a strong foundation for showcasing your value to blockchain companies. A smart way to attract attention from founders and decision-makers is by engaging with them directly on platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter (X), and Reddit. Start conversations by commenting on their posts, sharing actionable insights, or offering helpful ideas. Focus on providing value through your comments instead of promoting yourself directly.

This approach helps you demonstrate your knowledge while building a natural connection with potential employers. Recruiters and founders often explore these platforms anonymously to identify talent. Consistently showing up in meaningful conversations increases the chance they will notice your expertise.

For example, if a founder shares a post about preparing for a market shift, you could comment with examples from your experience about planning for growth or managing business operations effectively. This passive method showcases your skills without appearing pushy.

Pair this engagement with a deeper understanding of blockchain trends like tokenomics and compliance. This combination will position you as a credible candidate for roles that need business expertise more than technical skills.

Hi Damon, thank you so much for your comments! In fact, I've been doing something like that, only at LinkedIn for the time being. Thou it hasn't yet led to an interview; I've been noticing a rise in my profile views. Hopefully, with time, it will turn into something more. Sometimes I struggle to find something worth commenting on, but I still try to comment something at least once a week, sometimes topics are more interesting and I can make more comments. I'm trying to find now some useful topic to create posts consistent with my comments.

One innovative way to enter the block chain world with the real world experience is via Tokenisation. So basically what I am saying is that for product development, market developement Blockchain sector needs reak world experience. So instead of looking for career in the management of finance ( in this case crypto currency) you apply your experience to create that wealth from the side of product development and real world applications.
