About Me and why am I mentoring
Hey there! I’m Alex.
Over the past 2 years I’ve taught over 500 students: Alex V - TypeScript Mentor - Codementor
I’ve helped them learn new skills, land a job and to some I even taught how to be come a mentor and make a living while helping others.
I’m looking for 2 trainees that will go through multiple real world projects
This will mirror my learning curve of how I got into Solidity development
The goal of the program is to give you:
- Rock solid Solidity skills
- A portfolio of Projects
- An understanding of how to figure things out by yourself in the dark forest
- A bunch of prizes via Hackathons and Sponsored Training by Badger
Training Will be for a protocol
My goal is to ease you into the facets of Solidity Development with the purpose of hiring you as a Full Time Core Member of Badger DAO
As such you’ll start by building basic projects from start to finish and you’ll end with building paid projects with Badger
Number of trainees: (max 2 advised)
2
Training Will target a job position
Strategist at Badger DAO
Target position will be remote
Minimum requirements for trainee candidates
1 or 2 years of Work experience in Coding (building websites is fine)
Has used React for building a pet project
(Or go do this tutorial I made to get you started : Build a FullStack Ecommerce with Nextjs, Strapi, Magic and Stripe - YouTube)
Has used Uniswap
Has farmed some yield manually
Python / Typescript experience preferred but not necessary
Mentoring hours per week
2 Calls per week:
Call 1: Intro to the Project, list of resources, info dump
Call 2: Code review and feedback
Additionally you’ll have direct access to me via Discord for quick feedback during the week
Calls can be 30 mins, but most likely will be an hour +
Work hours per week expected
I believe this can be done with 20 hours a week if you already have extensive Ethereum use (etherscan, read contracts, use Remix perhaps)
Most likely this will require 40 hours a week for a month though (or very intense weekends)
Month 1: Projects (unpaid)
The goal of Month 1 is to get you started as a Solidity Developer
You’ll go over what I believe is the “smoothest” learning curve, every project will be done from start to finish and it will be fairly intense
Project 1: Decentralized Blog
Project 2: NFT Drop
Project 3: Make a Stablecoin via CDP
Project 4: Make a Yield Farming Strategy
Month 2: Hackathons (you win what you earn)
In a month of so, some of the biggest hackathons in the space will take place
This will be your chance to take on an unexpected challenge, and potentially earn very competitive (5 to 10k) prizes
From my point of view, the motivation of competing and winning prizes will help you keep your focus and learn faster
Month 3: Dao Projects (sponsored / Options)
If you end up submitting a bounty for Badger Dao, and your submission is world class, we’ll give you a project offer. These are paid projects that typically take a month.
Our latest hire built a Flashbots integration
I built the V1 mix you’ll use to build yield farming
These are projects that are used by tons of people and the pay is great.
If you end up
Duration of the program
2 months + potentially 1 month at Badger
Trainee contribution expected during the training program
4 projects
All code open source
Salary Range
120k+
Protocol equity position
Not sure, but it should be more than the salary after vesting
