✍️ I am the only one that understands even a spec about blockchain in my company so everyone thinks I am overpaid. In reality, for the amount of responsibilities I have, I am underpaid. I get blamed when things aren't ready on time even though I always need people to set up de Databases, the Environments, the EC2s etc since I can't do it myself because my Tech Lead wants me to focus on "The Crypto Stuff" and then nothing is ready on time (I send emails and messages saying what I need weeks in advance).📍 Portugal Espinho, Portugal↑ Based on GeoIP.
