I was the first hire of a major bitcoin casino as my last main gig, but I don't think it's had any impact.

I'm having a pretty bad time landing interviews. I'm not trying too hard yet, but it's pretty disheartening to get rejected for jobs with a listing that matches exactly what I was doing at my previous job.

"Thanks for applying but we've moved on to other candidates!" on a job similar to what I just spent 6 years doing really makes me feel like an imposter. Is everyone else applying to this job an ex-FAANG SWE but me?

I'm sure it's mostly due to the super competitive market (I haven't looked for a job in 10 years). But I also realize I have no big names on my resume. And as big as the bitcoin casino might be, it doesn't seem to have helped me. I fear that maybe it's just not seen as a particularly legitimate job, and might even seem sketchy or corny.

Sometimes I wonder if the gig is up and I should just work at Costco for the season. I've only applied to 15 carefully selected jobs though. I would not be in a good mental state if I applied to 100+ like you have, jeez. I should start trying harder if that's what it's gonna take.

Maybe we should set up a Discord for some group support.

Hey so first off, this is semi-unrelated but could we connect? I've been curious about the gaming/gambling industry for a very long time and would love to pick your brain on it.

I totally agree on the Discord support group as I'm in the same position as op and yourself.

I'd love to join to help out in the support group, but Discord decided a while ago that something about my e-mail, phone number, browser, or IP is something they don't like and instabans me 10 seconds after signup. The most nafarious thing I did was deleting my account a while back. Go figure.
