Circle

1. The company has cool underlying technology and the ability to wear as many hats as you'd like.

2. The company's most recent pivot is a strong one and I believe it will become profitable.

3. As far as regulated financial technology institutes go in the crypto space, Circle is in rarified air.

1. There were surprise firings. I was experiencing burnout and said as much. I wasn't finding the project I was on meaningful and wanted to shift my focus to more blockchain-sided work. That didn't happen.

2. There is never a shortage of work so it's easy to overwork yourself and set others' expectations of you too high.

3. The company hasn't yet found solid footing though it recently picked up a sizable funding round.

Put people where their talents are best expressed.

If they seem unhappy with their current placement, move them.
