Hi Mr. Azeem and everyone, I'm actually in my final year at uni now, and just got a BD role in this industry. I'm committed because it's my first job. Do you have any advice for me for this role, and the industry?
Do you think Telegram being the center-stage of partnership discussion is part of the problem?
Similar to Discord, Telegram is widely adopted by the Web3 industry for use cases it wasn't designed for. Our obsession of using tools we are familiar with (or pretend we're familiar with because new joiners always want to look Web3-native) doesn't mean they are the right tools that are fit-for-purpose.
I do believe people who're serious about their work would think twice about which tools they use. So perhaps this is a symptom rather than the root cause. But I wonder how many BD people switching to Web3 would have an easier start if our industry grows out of mis-used tools altogether.
