Undisclosed but I also know they've recently hired a director of R&D.
Interesting note, careers page is on SC.com now, not C.L
So they're definitely focusing on staking next, developing a new website specifically for customers/devs
A lot of the founding members/the old guard taking a step back, or heading their own department with more and more delegating for specific tasks. Adelyn building her staff, at least 5 jobs for tasks she used to do by herself. Expect normie tier PR.
All because sir gay can’t build a web scraper alone? Token not needed retardant.

Looks expensive. Wonder how many tokens Sergey will dump to pay for this in addition to his big macs.
Well luckily he still owns 600 million so he should have it covered.

>Meanwhile my company is hiring 150 electrical engineers over the next year Granted we deliver actual usable physical products and make a fuck load of them.
Thomas Butler

Those same positions have been for almost a year.

I'm wondering what's the incentive for massively successful people to keep working when they could easily retire. Obviously Sergey is driven by his vision but even him at some point could decide to leave chainlink and focus either on Lamborghini collecting or new business ventures to help third world farmers. Obviously the team seems to be close knit and believers, but how long would Kochis, Adelyn or Thomas stay on board.
Scaling up is both exciting and terrifying to me. There's a difference between a small but driven startup desperate to achieve success, and a now unicorn tier company potentially losing some focus due to the top dogs not needing to give 100% anymore and the bottom hires simply doing it for a paycheck with too much bloat and compartmentalized tasks.
Also with scaling up comes a period of re adjustment. Training and mentoring the new hires, potentially getting inadequate fits etc.
I don't know what's the average employment period at SV startups, probably something like 5 years? How many of the ogs will still be here 5 years from now? Oblad and Roche already left, probably others I'm forgetting. I guess it's an inevitable part of growing a company. Success being a potentially double edged sword, is being part of a successful project more likely to make you stay with them long term, or is having achieved the success more likely to make you want to leave to focus on other stuff.
Adelyn in particular seems to be transitioning from doing all marketing related tasks herself to now being her own mini CEO, will now be delegating most of it to a whole staff. She earned it obviously but you have to wonder this is basically whole new uncharted territory for them. I'm also very hopeful that this will mean major growth for the future, ie they're getting ready for the big league, mainstream coverage strategies etc.
And the more scaled up the team is, the more competition is left in the rear view mirror.
do not worry friend sergey is a consummate professional and he is operating in a perfect flow state at all times

Also in the latest talk with ava labs, Sergey joked about how pre mainnet they were working like crazy and they thought these would be the hardest times, and post mainnet would be more relaxed, but it turned out to be just as busy. I don't think even Sergey himself envisioned turning into an unicorn CEO with, at this point what must be like 100 employees, just a couple of years after mainnet. But he's been handling it like a pro. By all accounts by partners, the team is exceptionally professional and leadership is top notch. Which is what we all perceived early on, even when there was radio silence, simply because of how they did NOT behave, compared to how low the standards are in crypto. I really wonder what his private discussions with Gonser must be like for example, obviously getting world class mentoring.

If they keep this up and continue improving they might eventually be good enough to partner with Kleros on the DXDAO and maybe one day even become decentralized.
Only one of these bullshit positions is listed anywhere but their website and it’s the lead data analyst in NY. The remote jobs don’t exist LMAO. Cope harder you delusional cultists...you’re getting scammed.
This. Chainlink is centralized garbage until it burns all the extra tokens Sergey has plus Chainlink holders should be the ones voting to make decisions...just like Kleros and Dxdao.
>Looks expensive. Wonder how many tokens Sergey will dump to pay for this in addition to his big macs. >Well luckily he still owns 600 million so he should have it covered. The more they spend the more they grow, they grow the more they deliver, the more they deliver the more the price pumps, the more they can keep spending etc virtuous loop. Which is why first mover advantage matters and this will be a winner takes all market. The fact they launched first when the ICO bubble was still going means they can be outlandish with their budget, but they still will have plenty in the war chests, meanwhile other projects are painfully restricted and doomed to remain small time, which means no adoption from anyone because if the network value is worthless, the security it provides is also worthless etc.
There was this article today about how chainlink is spending twice what ethereum is spending. You could think this is poor treasury management, but that's because bootstrapping adoption is far more complex than building infrastructure, and at current prices they could still keep going for at least 10 years, if adoption doesn't actually kick in by then. All they need is to land another big name like Google, get another x2, and that would equate 20 years, an even bigger marketing department, etc. Which would in turn give them more opportunities to keep growing. It's never gonna stop and 1000 end of year basically.
