The web3 brain drain

One by one. People have had enough of selling their time to purposeless corporations stuck in bureaucracy, politics, and status quo.

Web2 platforms are hiring for web3 roles - YouTube, Twitch, Meta, Apple, Nike, Disney, PayPal, Amazon, Fidelity, Google, Microsoft, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Visa, MasterCard...Their top people either embrace those roles or go for native web3 plays.

  • YouTube Polygon Studios

  • Domino's Pizza FriesDAO

  • TikTok BAYZ

  • Ex-Facebook Diem

  • Meta Circle

  • Airbnb Crypto VC

  • Walmart Blockchain.com

  • Amazon Gemini

  • Lyft & Uber OpenSea

  • Google, LinkedIn Coinbase

Web 2 → Web3 ⚡️

Seems pretty inevitable at this point. Fascinating to watch the battle for talent retention from major incumbents as the brain drain continues.
