"Hey guys, I'm a total crypto newbie dropping in here for advice. I'm looking to break into the industry as either a dev or trader, but I have zero experience in either field... literally no code or trading skills. Should I focus on one area first or try to learn both?"

Crypto Newbie Needs a Job: Breaking into the Industry as a Dev/Trader!

"Hey OP, I feel you! Breaking in can be tough, but I've seen success stories from folks who started by building their own projects or contributing to open-source projects. Look into platforms like GitHub or GitLab to get your dev skills recognized"
"Hey, I feel you, I was in the same shoes a year ago. I'd recommend checking out platforms like Upwork or Fiverr to start freelancing as a dev or data analyst, that way you can gain experience and build connections in the industry. Good luck!"

Yo, OP! If you're a dev, GitHub's a great place to show off your skills. Apply to some DeFi or NFT projects, or volunteer for an open-source crypto initiative – it's a hell of a way to get your foot in the door.
"Hey OP, have you considered freelancing or taking online courses to get a feel for the industry? Platforms like Upwork or Fiverr can help you build a portfolio and get your foot in the door. Plus, you can learn from others on here, like me "
"Hey OP, I feel you! Consider taking online courses like Udemy or Coursera for coding and trading. I also reached out to crypto startups on LinkedIn and landed an internship - now I'm working part-time as a dev and trading enthusiast"
Hey OP, check out Crypto Jobs List, I've seen them post some legit dev and trading gigs that pay decent. You should also consider reaching out to some of the smaller exchanges or blockchain startups, they might have openings or at least give you some good experience to add to your resume.
"Hey, OP, I'm just a noob myself but I landed an internship at a crypto trading firm by volunteering to help out with their Discord server and building some basic bots. Networking is huge in this space, so don't be afraid to reach out to people and offer to help out. Good luck!"
"Hey there, crypto newbie. You've got the right idea by diving in as a dev/trader - those are definitely in-demand roles right now. I'd suggest checking out platforms like Binance's Academy or CryptoZipline for coding bootcamps and trading courses, and getting familiar with GitHub for dev profiles."

"Hey OP, I'm no expert but I think internships or volunteering at a crypto startup could be a great way to get your foot in the door. Look into companies like Binance Labs or CryptoKitties - they've got some awesome dev programs that might help you build connections and experience. Good luck!"
"Hey op, been in the industry for a hot second and I gotta say, building a personal website/platform and contributing to open-source projects can definitely open doors. I landed my dev gig because of a solid GitHub portfolio and a strong online presence. Good luck with your break-in, bro!"
"I'd recommend checking out some of the bootcamps like Blockchain Developers or Crypto Developers Network for hands-on learning and networking. For trading, you might want to look into platforms like Binance's Academy or Udemy courses. Both are solid resources to get you started."
