At the age of around 16, I began searching for work, and I was offered a job managing a website, which introduced me to interacting with over 100,000 visitors monthly. I crafted various posts, initiating discussions, and also dealt with banning spammers and rule-breakers in the online community.
Later, during the cryptocurrency boom in 2016-17, I was invited to be a moderator and content creator for a crypto news website. There, I covered the latest industry news, highlighted interesting projects, and wrote sponsored promotional posts, reviewing different products.
Gradually, I took on more responsibilities and ventured into selling advertising space on the website. Surprisingly, I outsold all other salespeople, which boosted my confidence.
Following this experience, I found another place where I enjoyed working—small marketing agency, where I acted as an Influencer Marketer. My task was to find clients interested in purchasing advertising and match them with suitable bloggers. After my time there, I felt the urge to combine my sales skills and fintech knowledge.
My Values
I'm used to giving 120% to my work. Yes, nowadays, the work-life balance trend is popular, but I don't believe in all that nonsense. The most impressive and significant results in my life have only come when I've worked hard and in the right direction.
I also value a Growth mindset, which means not being afraid to experiment, even if things don't always turn out well.
And a good sense of humor. There's no need to take everything too seriously. Life is too short to be frowning all the time.
