💗 Career tip: when a Web3 role says “strategic and hands-on,” find out which side actually dominates.

That phrase can mean very different jobs.

It might mean:
• you set direction but still execute some of the work yourself
• you manage a small team but still own key deliverables
• there is no team yet, so “strategic” actually means “build the plan and then do almost all of it”
• the company wants a senior person but still expects junior-level execution volume

Before applying or accepting, ask something concrete:

“Roughly how much of this role is setting direction vs doing the work directly?”

And then:

“What would I personally own every week?”

Those two questions can tell you more than the title.

“Strategic and hands-on” can be a great role.

You just want to know what the balance actually looks like before you step into it.
