Key Points
+ Ethereum already is a leader in the world of dApps and NFTs.
+ But the network has one major flaw: transaction speed.
+ An upgrade this year may give Ethereum a huge boost.
Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) climbed more than 400% last year. The world's second biggest cryptocurrency impressed users and investors with its real-world utility -- and promise of more to come. Ethereum is a leader in decentralized applications (dApp) and in the non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace.
But Ethereum's performance may be far from over. That's because there's a huge catalyst right around the corner. So, could Ethereum make you a fortune in 2022? Let's take a closer look.
Following Bitcoin
First, a bit of background on Ethereum. This blockchain network launched in 2015 along with its native cryptocurrency, Ether. It's had its ups and downs when it comes to price -- often following in the footsteps of bigger rival, Bitcoin. And as Bitcoin climbed to $60,000 last year, Ethereum reached new highs too.
But Ethereum isn't just a Bitcoin follower. There are solid reasons behind its success. The network has become a significant player in the world of dApps and NFTs. First, let's consider dApps. More than 2,900 dApps are built on Ethereum, according to the State of the dApps website. Ethereum dApps range from finance to gaming to technology. For instance, you can lend and borrow assets or buy insurance. Or you can play games that involve trading land in virtual worlds.
As for NFTs, Ethereum is the all-time biggest blockchain by sales volume, according to CryptoSlam. On Ethereum, you can scoop up popular NFTs from collections like CryptoPunks or Bored Ape Yacht Club.
All of this sounds great. But Ethereum has faced one big problem. And that's transaction speed. The network relies on a proof-of-work validation process. That involved time-consuming, energy-using computations to validate transactions. As a result, Ethereum processes about 30 transactions per second. Now, though, Ethereum is in the process of transitioning to a proof-of-stake validation method. This speeds things up by eliminating those complex computations. Instead, validation power goes to those with the biggest holdings.
Launching proof of stake
Ethereum expects to fully launch proof of stake in the first or second quarter of this year. And the blockchain will introduce shard chains next year. This divides up the database into new chains in a horizontal manner. Splitting the workload across chains

But if you find yourself in an interview that is very conversational and open, PLEASE take the opportunity to ask the hard hitting questions:
Examples of good and honest questions:
- What is a challenge your company overcame in 2021 and a challenge you look forward to in 2022?
- How is the work life balance? (and depending on answer, do you often work over 50+ hr weeks?)
- What does your company do to ensure new hires are connected with others? (especially if remote)
- What are a few reasons you've stayed here so long? (if you can find their linkedin and they've been at the company a while)
- Has your company chosen any directions to take that you don't agree with, what's an example and how did things change?
- Are you happy with your yearly compensation bumps and bonuses?
- In your opinion, what's the most convincing selling point to working here?
- Mac/PC, Slack/Teams, Jira/Monday are all relevant as long as you have an opinion yourself
Examples of pre-canned questions I'm happy to answer but are very lackluster:
- What does the typical day look like?
- What characteristics do you think are most beneficial to this role?
- What did you do before this?
Bonus tips:
- asking any question is better than asking no questions
- a bold but good move is to ask if you can ask a few questions before you start.. particularly about org structure and where this person sits so you can tailor your responses to have better context within the company you are interviewing at
- do not go off the cuff with questions if the person is a stick... if they are thoughtful, open and honest, have some slightly more meaningful or challenging questions to ask

Hi /r/EngineeringResumes. I'm a junior engineering student from a random state school in the midwest, but I've had success in getting interviews and/or offers from all of the following companies:
Tesla, Amazon, Apple, SpaceX, Neuralink, BlackRock, Argo AI, Formlabs, McDonald's Corporate, IBM, and more.
Although the content on a resume DOES matter, having a quickly skimmable and pleasing resume format is important as well.
Here is the format of the resume I use:
- You can view an image of the resume here.
If you want to download the editable Word document, .docx file, here they are.
One has a size 9 font, and one with a size 10 font.
- Size 10 font download: MediaFire Download Link
- Size 9 font download: MediaFire Download Link
I personally use the size 9 font version because I have too many things to fit on the resume. I'll probably start trimming it down as I am looking for a full-time position after graduation.
The template is really easy to edit. It has parts that are automatically left-aligned as well as parts that are automatically right-aligned. No need to spam the spacebar to perfectly align everything.
If you have any suggestions for the resume format, please leave them below in the comments.
Other resume advice: Tailor your resume such that it contains as many relevant keywords to the jobs you are interested in as possible. This doesn't mean creating a custom resume for each application... It means that your resume should be a good fit for the type of position you are applying for. I personally use the chrome extension Jobalytics as it integrates directly into websites such as LinkedIn. It allows me to scroll through jobs I am interested in and slowly work in as many keywords that the extension suggests to me. For example, if I am interested in becoming a mechanical engineer at Tesla, I would go to LinkedIn, click through ~10 Tesla mechanical engineering positions and use Jobalytics and copy and paste the list of keywords onto a note document, then go back to my resume and try to work several of the repeated keywords that I am missing into my resume. After adding some of the repeated keywords, rinse and repeat until your res

Oi fellow reddit people, I'm kinda torn up here trying to decide where to go for my final internship, and I just wanted to ask you, random internet folk, for your carrer advice (always works out well, doesn't it?).
The situation: I'm a final year mech eng. undergrad from <Tropical south american country> with two internship offers in <big european country>. I often predent like to think that I'm a good student, very interested in aerospace and renewables technology, with a pretty strong CV (varied work/research exp, higher than avg grades on a well known university, pretty solid language knowledge). My goals after the internship are definitely trying to stay on <big european country>, either as a new hiree (not necessarily on the same company where I'll intern), or as a masters student.
The dilemma:
- Offer 1: F100 very well known company, higher pay, 6-months, very small town. Would be working on turbomachinery design for electrical drives (not really my area, but kinda interesting). Everything here appears to be very slow/burocratic though.
- Offer 2: New-space startup with about 100 employees, lower pay, 8-months, bigger Uni town. Working on rocket aerodynamics (not playing Kerbal, unfortunately). People here seem very excited and fast-paced.
... yeah I know I'm very fortunate to even have the opportunity to be picky. I'm definitely not complaining here. I sincerely just want to gather some random opinions you guys might have on the future career prospects for each choice. Personaly, I would really find it optimal to go for both of them, but I really do need to graduate next year.
What would you guys do in my place ???
The "A Captain Unafraid" soundtrack was composed by myself and Manchester-Irish sound artist Billy Kemp. The feature doc. itself was shot in Cuba, Ireland and N.Y. from 2014-16 and tells the story of 19th century adventurer "Dynamite" Johnny O'Brien. I'm giving out these codes as we just recently made the film available for free on youtube, a celebration if you will! Enjoy the music, and film!
Heres the A Captain Unafraid film link...

I am in the final rounds for BDR positions at unicorn startups and fortune 100 companies. The industries are both lucrative tech industries. Some of the startups actually have larger salaries with stock options over the fortune 100 companies.
Is the brand name worth it as a BDR? My goal is to get to AE as fast as possible and sell to enterprises to maximize my income.
I'm a senior in college with sales experience.
Not sure what the majority opinion on this is but I agree with MF. If you want change you need to kill some people. You cannot be diplomatic and make peace with murderers and thieves. Also GP deserves to die 100%
The answer for me was 5,675.
