A day by day to become a smart contract developer/auditor in 2022 — week 20
Week 20: Buidling my skill set
For years I’ve been considering moving to a city where people speak English to reach an advanced level. Until now, that hasn’t happened. English is part of a successful career, and I can’t wait for it more. I won’t stop until I’m fluent and confident in my English skills.
This is the first time that I’m not working for a company since I was in the university. My savings are lowering fast because I’m attending conferences and paying for tutoring. I can’t do much to reduce my expenses; I focus on maximizing my time, learning, and building to be ready to join and contribute to a team.
This is a challenge; I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, I feel the adrenaline of running out of money, and still, I’m happy that I decided to bet for myself.
I found the first Blockchain Developer position on a DeFi company, addressed to a junior candidate, and I’m interested in DeFi projects and smart contracts auditing, then I applied.
