Learn or outsource? 🐍

I want to dive deeper into smart contracts and launch (sell) NFTs. I’m an artist not a developer but I’m willing to learn if that’s what it takes.

    I'm particularly eager to break into the fintech industry, specifically in the web3 space,

    If anyone could kindly share your thoughts on the following,

    1. Key skills or qualifications that are highly sought after in the current job market
    2. Networking opportunities or events you would recommend attending.

    Update:

    5 months ago I joined a Fintech bootcamp, I'm so close to finishing. We're currently covering the final subject which involves intro to Blockchain, solidity, SC, Tokenomics, daaps, and other Web3 stuff! 9 months ago I was a random artist curious about smart contracts and now im a random artist that's learning to develop them with a new perspective on finance.

    I suggest to learn, when you want to start a business, the best state is to make this business a part of you. He talks about bringing you new experiences and skills, which is what I did. I start a business in 2020. Too much reliance on developers, and now I'm trying to become an independent developer. In the process, I gained another perspective on making good products. Originally, I was just a product designer and didn't know programming. Now I can do more Good combination of my two abilities

    100% learning.
    Those are skills that no-one can separate you from.

    As more knowledge you gain - in various fields - as better.

    Sure, if your workload is too much, then outsourcing is an option, but if you got time and capacity better learn it.

        If you've got a bit of spare time here and there, then I'd say learning skills for yourself is the way to go. Life is long and small steps can add up to big gains. I think it can be useful to think in seasons and years rather than weeks and months.

          Also thanks for the advice and I agree with long term thinking. :)

          I will be transitioning into part time work in less than 2 months and will definitely be experimenting with Python and solidity. Do you have any tips? / cheat codes ? 😅

            I would take a look at the different resources out there and then choose one to get started with. Everyone has different learning styles. If one resource isn’t working , then change to another or supplement it with something else. As for resources, freeCodeCamp and YouTube (there are some great hours-long courses on YouTube) are good starting points. Also take a look at Replit. It lets you code in your browser and get started faster. Installing and setting everything up can be a bit finicky and tedious, especially when just starting out. Feel free to message me on Twitter if you have more you want to discuss.
