but people dont want cause some maybe dont believe in crypto, think it'll die 2 years down the road, or feel that crypto company techstack is useless for future prospect, etc.

if u are a fresh grad then definitely go for it, its a good resume booster for first job. from there u decide whether its worth staying for 2-3 years or not, also be aware that facebook has a 2 year cycle, meaning u need to show improvement every 2 years or else you're gone. im not sure if this is same for non-tech but it is for tech.
