one of the stranger parts about working FT in crypto i think is identity is so tied to employer and bc "work" itself happens on twitter you are often a sort of microphone for your employer even in non-work contexts just shitposting online

in some cases this makes sense, startups generally have tight work-life integration and that's a feature not bug cases where it is weirder complex i think would be like mid-large size cos, say series B/C+

i refuse to my detriment. for someone who lives on the internet and works in crypto enforcing a boundary between life and work is a daily practice. i love my company— and still it pays me for my work but it doesn’t pay me for my identity. i am a 🦖 so i still believe in onchain pseudonymity. i answer to my government name at work. the rest of the internet is an out-of-scope domain. different names mean different things.

it's not as awkward when a larger % of the company is also on a specific social network first 1.5 yrs at NG after gemini acquisition everyone was on CT and it was an absolute vibe but when a lot of early folks churned and/or we hired new folks who were not as online the disconnect and relative lack of shared presence on CT became the most awkward thing (more so than trying to maintain some sort of external persona on Ct or anything)

Feel this big time. Definitely don’t miss being the face of a product and having every personal post scrutinized in relation to work. I think it can make sense for founders to tell their story but we all need to be able to express ourselves as people and not just Bob from X.

totally, and esp. for marketing/growth hires this pressure is quite intense to be "the face" of the product/protocol 24/7

What impact do you think that has as people begin to switch jobs over a career working FT in crypto. If my identity is my work, who am I as the space grows and evolves? Many Americans identify as their job as a core impact of their personality, but wonder if this is a tougher challenge for those abroad that have better work life balance
