Get this, I interviewed with Swan for three months from December 2023-March 2024 for an entry level bis ops role, spoke to a bunch of people, including Cory. Cory verbally told me I would be receiving an offer but needed to connect with HR to hash out the final details. Two days later I was told the position was on hold as they are, “hyper conscious of their growth”, and a bunch more bullshit managerial speak. They are clearly losing money and I have zero faith they’ll be around much longer. Not that I hope they fail, but damn that’s a fucking huge red flag 🚩 Hard pass
“I didn’t get hired so they’re losing money”
😂 rofl
I also interviewed there for a marketing position once and was told that they wouldn’t be able to make an offer close to what the role was actually worth.
This was the actual response:
“So everyone at Swan works for below market in fact because so many talented bitcoiners want to work at a Bitcoin only company.”
🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣🤡
well, if they can find people for less money, that's what the position is worth.
price only exists when an exchange happens. it seems that for many people just the feeling of working for some company is a non financial part of the salary.
if it works for them and not for you, it is fine, you chose not to take the deal.
It also means they aren’t attracting the best talent and I think that’s self-evident.
yes, but that's their choice. often you can build things with developing talent. when I started with my company, I often hired students and invested time rather than money. they grew their capabilities and put in more effort, I could start without outside investment.
I was willing to take a pay cut to work in a bitcoin company, but not so much I can’t feed myself and my family. I never got a number but I was told it would be a significant cut from what I’m making today.
one man's paycut is another man's hot career opportunity
Simping for Swan not my jam. ✌️
I'm not, I'm not a customer and I'm indifferent to KYC exchanges. It's like a vegan restaurant for me. I understand that they exist, but they offer nothing usable to me. I'm slightly annoyed by every podcaster pushing them for referral fees.
On the other hand, understanding the reality of job market is important. It has depth, sorting through top offers is not how to get an accurate picture of it.
