Local Boys here. Think of us as your Web3 Job messengers - you know, the ones who bring you only the best hits: who's hiring, which roles are in demand, and a little TLC to boot.

Here’s how we’re opening the week:

• 🔥Freshly Posted Job Gems

• 🎯Job Boards: Do they work?

• 🌱Startup Funding SZN (aka Who's Hiring Soon)

TLDR: IT'S LAYOFF SZN 🤡

It’s a dark, dark time out there with massive tech layoffs across the board.

But it’s not all doom and gloom! Companies are still getting funded, jobs are still getting posted and the Local Boys have compiled a few fresh (read POSTED THIS WEEK) (REMOTE ONLY EVER) gems just for you. Yes, YOU.

P.S ETH is up. JK, thanks for nothing SBF.

FRESH JOBS

🐎 Web3 Product Manager 💸 80k-180k / Betsson → TBH we’ve never heard of ‘Betsson’ but damn, 180k and working for a casino company sounds like the start of an Ocean’s heist prequel. Sign us up.

🎩 Lead Product Manager, Web3 Wallet & Onboarding 💸120k-220k / Magic → Incredible role with longevity in our new wallet-centric world. AM my PM, too much good stuff.

⚒️ BizOps Manager (NY-hybrid) 💸160k-200k / GloCap (not a hair product)→ If you’re a logistics wizard and open to a NY-hybrid role (partly remote, some time req in office), this is for you. Ok we broke our remote only rule but this one is cool ☝️

🚁 Executive Assistant 💸Unknown / Block → Don’t be a “Square”, just scale Web3 tools to the world. Casual slay.

🎨Director of Design 💸70k-260k / Block → The Block is thirrrrssty for creative juice. Do you have it?

Job Boards: Do they actually work?

“I get a lot of unqualified candidates through job boards but once in a while, a unicorn stands out.” - Anon Recruiter

*Highly-qualified Snack Unicorn*

Job boards are often a popular way to apply because you can go through a list and slay those apply, apply, apply moments. This means that for recruiters applications are a dime a dozen - the vast majority never even get looked at.

So, how doth thou stand out? 🦄

That, dear reader, depends on you. Job boards are great for finding roles, but honestly it’s best to apply directly through the company website. Another 🔥hot tip 🔥 is to connect with a current employee at the company to have a conversation about their experience (weak ties go a long way).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Add a cover letter that speaks directly to the company. Bonus points if you include how you see them vs their competitors or how they could improve X compared to Y using your skills. ;)

• Add a relevant title on LinkedIn. As much as we love a Mememaster-Flex reference, this title is KEY for hiring managers using LinkedIn who are looking at a high volume of applications.

• Ensure your profile picture is professional. Don’t have the funds for a Vogue shoot (yet)? Same. Get a friend to take a high-res photo with someone’s newer iPhone using portrait mode. Can be done at: a party, a restaurant, or anywhere with bright but soft lighting. Say 🧀.
