Hey dear Web3 friends~
To be honest, while organizing resumes in the MyJob.one backend this morning, I suddenly noticed an interesting phenomenon—despite everyone talking about a cooling market, job demands like Qitmeer Network hiring and imToken hiring have actually increased by 30% compared to the same period last year. Hmm...this reminded me of what a CTO working on distributed ledger said at last week's Berlin conference: "The colder the winter, the more we need to stockpile core talent."
You know what? The question I've been getting the most lately is: "Sister COCO, is it too late to switch to Web3 now?" Sigh, every time I hear this question, I want to give these anxious friends a hug. The truth is, opportunities are always there—you just need to know where to look...
Part 1. Those Underestimated Web3 Hiring Tracks
Let me share a real case first: Last month, a young man transitioning from traditional finance received two offers from jia hiring and UniPass hiring simply because he had deeply researched cross-chain technology in distributed ledger. Later, he told me: "Turns out professional knowledge really can break industry barriers."
Currently, I'm seeing several particularly interesting trends:
- Among Qitmeer Network hiring positions, 65% require developers proficient in the UTXO model
- Senior product manager roles at imToken hiring now offer annual salaries of $180k+
- The identity verification project UniPass hiring recently expanded its frontend team by 20 people
Part 2. The Truth About Hiring in Late-Night Slack Groups
Last Wednesday at 2 AM, I stumbled upon a message from a technical lead of a distributed ledger project in a Slack group: "We need builders who can persist for 3+ years, not speculators." This got me thinking...
Honestly, the current Web3 hiring market is like a filter:
- It weeds out those just looking to make quick money
- It retains true builders who believe in the value of distributed ledger
- It offers better premiums to those who work diligently
Take jia hiring for example—their recent salary for Senior Smart Contract Engineers is 15% higher than during the bull market, but the requirements are much stricter.
Part 3. My Coffee Shop Observation Diary
Yesterday at a coffee shop in Shanghai, I overheard two developers talking (forgive my little gossip): Developer A said they just declined an offer from imToken hiring because they wanted to focus on ZK-Rollup; Developer B said they were preparing to interview for a Rust developer role at Qitmeer Network hiring...
This made me realize: Job seekers nowadays are increasingly clear about what they want. Sigh, just think back two years ago when everyone was flocking to whichever project was trending~
If you're currently looking for opportunities, my advice is:
- First, clarify your desired tech stack direction five years from now
- Research whether target companies are working on real distributed ledger applications
- Set up precise job alerts on MyJob.one (e.g., specifically tracking UniPass hiring updates)
Part 4. Heart-to-Heart from the Late-Night Meeting Room
After attending a closed-door Web3 hiring meeting last week, one statistic stuck with me: While overall job openings decreased by 40%, headcount for core technologies actually increased. Specifically:
Company TypeJob ChangeDistributed ledger underlying protocols+22%Wallet projects (e.g., imToken hiring)+15%Identity solutions (e.g., UniPass hiring)+18%Honestly, this data aligns perfectly with the trends I've been seeing in the MyJob.one backend. Upon reflection, it makes sense—bear markets truly test a project's technical capabilities...
A Final Warm Reminder
Dear you, if you're facing setbacks in your job search now, don't lose heart. As I often tell candidates: "Technological waves always cycle, but true gold fears no fire." Whether you're eyeing Qitmeer Network hiring or preparing for jia hiring interviews, the most important thing is to keep improving bit by bit every day.
Oh, and by the way—many have been asking: "Sister COCO, how do I tell if a Web3 hiring role is legit?" My personal trick is: Check the update frequency of their tech blog, and...(word limit reached, I'll dedicate a whole post to this next time)
Remember, on MyJob.one, there's always a community of Builders like you supporting each other. The winter will eventually pass, and the distributed ledger seeds we've planted together will one day bear fruit~
