Talan

Talan is an employment company with contracts out it's employees to other companies. For my venture here, I was contracted to a cryptocurrency liquidity firm called XBTO.

XBTO

XBTO as a cryptocurrency firm is the first liquidity firm to start. They basically work with all crypto exchanges to provide liquidity in their markets.

Pros

You will work with very talented individuals.

Cons

I will admit and have now accepted that the level you must be at in your professional field must be very high to compete and work at this company.

Takeaway

For myself, I have come to accept that I was not at the competancy level I needed to be work in the cryptocurrency field. It doesn't mean that I wasn't able to achieve that competancy but at the time, I definitely needed to learn specific skillsets to work in that field. After my tenure at XBTO, I did spend quite a lot of time improving and learning all I needed to learn especially in the realm of platform engineering.
