Hello! Welcome to Women in Web3. I’m Carly from Weld Recruiting and this is the 21st edition of our weekly get-down.
On my brain this week: 💭
Clearly this space is all about web3 – celebrating women in the metaverse, the NFT space, those who are blockchain engineers, community managers, etc.
It’s my favorite when I’m able to share a really great job opportunity with people I’ve met through here – or to help build a team for an awesome company or project. Because that is my way of making a true impact on people’s lives, and bringing more people into the space!
But I also recruit for other industries and roles outside web3, and as you all know, there’s some pretty amazing women in web2 too. So I’ve come up with an idea…
I want to start a Women@Work series too, where I highlight some of those ladies on LinkedIn.
My question for you… is what do you want to hear about? Who do you want to hear from?
Give us topics, and we’ll chat about them!
