Any crypto companies in Ireland?

Zascar · 2018-01-09 19:22:50

I'd love to work in the industry. I already work in tech - but not a coder I'm in marketing/sales - would really love to get a job for a blockchain or crypto type company - or even in something like a new blockchain department of a bigger company. How would I go about this? Any recruitment agencies worth talking to?

Hey Zascar, networking can be a stepping-stone to a job you might not find advertised publically.
You might consider "putting yourself about" at a couple of the crypto/blockchain meetups.

Best of luck in your quest, btw.

Wachsman is likely who they were referring to.

I've just left my "day job" to look into making a simple investment type product centred on crypto assets.. perhaps we should talk!
