First Month as a Smart Contract Auditor

What is it like working as a smart contract auditor at an audit firm. What the job is actually like, what I do day to day, pros and cons vs an independent researcher and future goals.

I'm finally learning to code smart contracts now. Good info to keep in mind as I get through the auditing part.

Hi, Andy. Great content and thanks for your thoughts on web3 sec. What are the typical questions for someone applying for a junior smart contract auditor on a job interview? Would love to hear you opinion on that one❤

Hey you are my motivation boy I joined code4rena hardly 1 month ago and my place is 900 all time and top 200 on 60 days
After more learning like you want to join a audit company it's my goal
BTW thank you Andy for this type of motivation

Hey Andy, I am sydney based and just starting my journey into this field. Would love to connect professionally with you! Great video man and I love your channel, hoping to hear back from you!

Andy I love your honest upfront style. Am I too late to get in with zero coding experience?

Hey so I am looking to break into cyber security in 2023, and was pretty convinced that the standard cert road was the way to go. I've passed the Sec+ but after seeing you latest videos I am a bit conflicted as t whether I should go after the OSCP or focus solely on Web3.

OSCP seems like the safe and well tread path but like you've said getting in early on web3 sec could be a gamechanger, especially if it really blows up! I watched your conversation with Tyrese and Amaechi but I am still a bit confused, would you be able give me like 3 or 4 bullet points you would consider as the essential steps to getting a job at an auditor firm?

I'm 19 years old and i want to start learning it from scratch i have no knowledge whatsoever. Would you suggest this field or is it to complicated to learn on the side until i get good at it maybe then I'll consider going full time.

Iam Really happy for you, man.
I recently got a job offer for a test automation engineer and another offer as devops. Should i take the first offer to be more prepared for a web3 security transition. Or QA is irrelevant to web3 security. Because if that is the case i will take the devops one it pays 1.5x the test automation offer

[theybecameus]

can u make a roadmap on how on with zero tech background can get into this step by step

I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Hey Andy, thanks a lot for the update! Did you have to set up a company to be paid like a contractor or something? I know this will vary from country to country, but how do remote workers handle taxes with their local government?
