He also added that he’d be working specifically on virtual reality products:“And I’m equally excited to dive back into VR with the amazing team at Meta Reality Labs as we explore the future of entertainment experiences.”Big tech


Judging by Nicholas’ LinkedIn page, this will be his first tour with a big tech company — Meta’s the seventh most valuable company in the world by market cap as of Aug. 17.


As to what his exact duties will be at the company formerly known as Facebook, the only thing certain at this point is that he’ll be an executive producer in the company"s Reality Labs division.


Meta “reposted” the job opening in the middle of August and, according to LinkedIn, there were 53 applicants who used the platform to apply. Based on the posting for the job, “candidates must be comfortable wearing multiple hats.”


The primary functions for the role are “as a key creative executive for the team responsible for leading complex development projects” and “providing guidance on our entire slate of social and interactive music, comedy, sports, and film/TV related content.”Apes forever


While this could represent a potential change to Reality Labs’ vision for engaging audiences, it also means a seminal figure in the NFT world is moving on from the tight-knit community to the world of big tech.


That being said, Nicholas also assured well-wishers and followers on social media that he would remain active in the BAYC community:“As for me personally, I’m not going anywhere. I minted Apes, I’m an Ape till I die, and I’m looking forward to continuing to be part of the community as this club, brand and legacy unfold in the days, months and years to come.”
