🇺🇸 US → Dubai
Americans in Web3 are doing the math — and moving.

Here's the calculation they're running:
🇺🇸 US federal tax: 22–37%
🇺🇸 State tax (varies): up to 13.3%
🇺🇸 Total gone before you see it: up to 50%
🇦🇪 Dubai income tax: 0%

A Web3 professional earning $150K in the US could be saving $30,000–$55,000 more per year just by relocating.
Dubai is not a downgrade. It's a strategy.

The numbers:
📌 Average Web3 salary in Dubai: $109,652/year — kept in full
📌 Cost of living: ~30–40% lower than NYC
📌 Health insurance: $150–$400/month vs $500–$1,500 in the US
📌 Safety ranking: #2 globally
📌 438+ active crypto jobs in Dubai right now

Note for US citizens: The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) shelters the first $126,500 (2026) from federal tax. Most Americans in Dubai pay dramatically less than back home.
The 3–5 year Dubai move has become the go-to wealth acceleration play for US Web3 talent.

Thank you, Max - this means a lot 🙏

Max came to us for career guidance. Zhanna didn't just show up for the booked session — she went beyond it. No polishing, no generic advice. Just honest, long-term strategy - CV, LinkedIn, positioning, and most importantly, mindset.

Here's what no recruiter will ever tell you:
If you keep getting rejected, sometimes the problem isn't your CV. Sometimes it's how you show up. We'll tell you the truth —-because comfort doesn't get you hired.

Congratulations to Marcus on his new role as Global Head of Liquidity & Account Management at a leading Digital Asset Platform in San Francisco! 🎉

Marcus was running liquidity relationships at a prime brokerage in London. Solid career. Great network. But he knew the most exciting problems in institutional finance had moved somewhere else.
They'd moved to crypto. And crypto had moved to SF.

Here's what Marcus brought:
— 5+ years managing Tier-1 institutional relationships
— Deep expertise in market microstructure and order book dynamics
— A network across OTC desks and algorithmic trading firms built over a decade
— C-suite level negotiation across multiple jurisdictions

Why San Francisco?
— The heartbeat of institutional crypto in the US
— Home to the most well-capitalised digital asset firms in the world
— Where TradFi experience meets Web3 ambition at the highest level

Wake up on an island 20 mins from Singapore. Train in a rooftop gym overlooking the ocean. Eat optimized meals. Then spend the day building - surrounded by engineers, founders, and creators who are just as locked in as you.

That's Network School by Balaji.

You can’t find great talent just on LinkedIn & GitHub, I am sorry.

+ talent do not know how to sell themselves well on social media. Go and do headhunting to hackathons.

Almost year ago we have sponsored 100xEngineers Generative AI Buildathon 2.0 - India’s leading innovation event that unites AI professionals, developers, and entrepreneurs to create the next wave of AI solutions.

This buildathon brought together hundreds of participants to develop projects in areas like large language models (LLMs), AI filmmaking, and autonomous AI agents.

Teams and solo participants pitched their projects to a panel of venture capitalists and AI founders, competing for cash prizes, expert feedback, and exposure to a global AI community of over 800,000 members.

Crypto regulation in 2026. Where every major country actually stands:

🇦🇪 UAE — VARA framework live. Dedicated crypto regulator. Fastest licensing globally.

🇸🇬 Singapore — MAS Payment Services Act. Strict, clear, institutional grade.
🇭🇰 Hong Kong — SFC licensing live. A-S-P-I-Re framework. Asia’s regulated crypto gateway.
🇺🇸 USA — GENIUS Act signed July 2025. First federal stablecoin framework. Finally clarity.
🇬🇧 UK — FCA full regime: October 2027. Promotion rules live now.
🇪🇺 EU — MiCA live but complex. USDT delisted across exchanges.
🇮🇳 India — Legal but 30% tax + 1% TDS. Highest friction in Asia.
🇨🇳 China — Full ban. Still 14% of global Bitcoin mining.

No editorialising. Just the map.

📍 Remote | Full-time
🕐 UTC+0 to UTC+8

🔥 What you’ll own:
→ Source & evaluate high-impact token listings (spot + upcoming perps)
→ Manage inbound + outbound listing pipeline
→ Negotiate listing terms (fees, liquidity, market-making, co-marketing)
→ Coordinate cross-functionally (BD, engineering, QA, marketing) for smooth go-live
→ Turn every listing into a growth event (announcements, campaigns, community activations)
→ Build and scale a repeatable listing playbook

🎯 You’re a fit if:
✅ 2+ years in exchange listing BD or token BD
✅ Strong understanding of L1/L2 ecosystems & token narratives
✅ Ability to identify listings that drive real users vs hype
✅ Experience negotiating deals (MM, liquidity, marketing commitments)
✅ Strong coordination + communication skills across teams

➕ Bonus:
• Experience with DeFi protocols / DEX listings
• Existing relationships with token projects or launchpads
• Familiarity with market-making & liquidity provisioning
