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.

I see thanks so much for sharing appreciate it!

Would you say the role at meta even if it’s non tech is better on the resume as a first job as compared to a role in Accenture (for example consulting or change management or business analysis)? Cos saw one op comparing these two in the earlier page too.

What are some of such crypto companies that pay so much but guess they also require masters or first class honours grads bah similar to IB? But crypto really don’t have good exit opportunities?

for resume as first job? definitely

as long as you have a good F500 company name on your resume, you are pretty much golden. ( facebook is <100 ranking, accenture is 270+ on F500 list )

so imo they are both good. of course facebook is better because of the ranking + their benefits is quite insane, last i recall they give you 3k yearly or something? im not sure about now.

wintermute, binance, crypto.com, alphalab capital... there's still a few more, i forgot

also no you dont need masters or first class, im pretty sure. i got interview for some of these companies and im not even from NTU / NUS FCH but their OA was some crazy 4-8 hours long hackerrank where you MUST know how crypto trading works or else 100% cannot make it.

As for the exit opportunity it really depends on what you want. If you don't mind going into AI or C++ specific roles then crypto companies are pretty good.. most of their roles are C++ , so you become a C++ specialist, then 2-3 years later you hop to an AI company working with C++ and slowly expand ur skillset there.

If you want front-end dev then of course no lol once you work with C++ for years, you're going to fking hate web languages like JavaScript and other loosely typed languages. Not to mention the fact that you'll be wasting your skills.

OKX, huobi, FTX are a few chinese ones as well agreed with the last paragraph but keep in mind C++ is really not so easy and the skill level varies deeply. If you are top tier in C++ u could legitly be a god amongst men alr even more so if u can do things like write ur own compiler, parser etc
