I think that crypto and tech people are often more pleasant to talk to than average because they have an abundance mindset. There’s a basic cultural expectation that things are going to get better, maybe infinitely better, and they’re “building” and “early.” These are things that make one feel a sense of positive anticipation for the future and it reflects in an upbeat culture. I’d say that this is not the case for media or politics people, and they have a far darker worldview and more negative attitude. They’re not really planning or expecting an abundant future because their industry isn’t growth-based. Because their daily jobs are also often focused on analyzing the bad parts of the world they have far more of a poverty mindset that can lead towards depressive thinking and outlook. When these two worlds clash it can produce very hilarious misunderstandings and cultural missed connections. I actually think the ideal is to blend tech-based abundance with critical analysis.

This, along with the pay difference, is one of the main reasons I transitioned from working in media to working in tech. 420 $degen

What type of work do you do, Sean? I need to get back into tech. I left it in 2005 and textbook publishing (where I am now) pays horribly.

I work in sales, fully remote for an SF based tech company. Started in Dec 2022 and it's easily the best job I've ever had 🫡

oh interesting. Sales. Wonder if I could be a PM for tech instead of textbook publishing. Although I prefer to build things, fix things and I like programming. But it's been a while since I worked in that field.

Never too late to consider a career change, especially if you're willing to get new certifications and such to pad your credibility and expertise

yes, I like learning new things. I just finished the google cybersecurity certificate and am exploring that area right now.
