Web3 Recruitment Landscape: Career Path from Podcast Producer to System Architect

Frankly speaking, at this moment, I am sitting in the café on the 57th floor of the Golden Mile Tower in Singapore, and the lights of Marina Bay outside the window resemble the flickering transaction records in the Ethereum network. Hmm... by the way, last night at the ETHGlobal after-party...

The Recruitment Revelation at 4 AM

To be honest, I'm sitting in the cafe on the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore right now, and the lights outside look just like the flashing transaction records in the Ethereum network. Hmm... by the way, at the ETHGlobal after party last night, a young Podcast Producer asked me: "Charles, does Web3 really need voice storytellers?" See, that's the topic I want to talk about today—the underestimated value of Web3 job roles.

Speaking of which, this cup of cold brew costs 12 Singapore dollars and reminds me of the volatility of Gas Fee...

Voice Architects: The Rise of Web3 Podcast Producers

Actually, before 2021, almost no one was specifically recruiting for Podcast Producer Recruitment. But now? There are already 17 related positions listed on MyJob.one, with average salaries ranging from $90k to $140k. I met Mable in Tokyo last week, and she left a deep impression on me—she used to be a traditional radio producer, and now she creates bilingual programs for the Celestia ecosystem.

  • Core Skills: Narrative structure design + Ability to translate blockchain terminology
  • Hidden Needs: Experience in DAO community operations is a plus
  • Growth Traps: Don't just stay on the surface of interviews; delve into technical white papers

Data Alchemists: The Double-Edged Sword of Research Analysts

I suddenly remember that boy in a plaid shirt at last month's crypto summit in Hong Kong. He asked me: "Research Analyst Recruitment requires a PhD, right?" See, that's a typical cognitive bias.

According to our platform's data, among the top 20 Web3 funds' analysts:

  1. 45% have experience in traditional investment banking
  2. 30% are former deep DeFi users
  3. Only 15% hold a Ph.D.

More importantly... (a cruise horn sounds outside) Sorry, this view always distracts me. What I want to say is, since the StarkNet ecosystem exploded, newbies with ZK-Rollup analysis skills have seen their salaries increase by up to 60%.

Risk Dancers: The Tightrope Walk of Risk Control Managers

Last Friday night, a job description for Risk Control Manager Recruitment at a certain exchange made me stare at the screen for ten minutes straight. They required: "Ability to handle 80 hours of high-pressure work per week"—that reminded me of our risk control director lighting a whole pack of cigarettes during the Luna crash in 2022.

The reality is:

  • Tier 1 exchange risk control positions start at $150k
  • Need to understand both smart contract vulnerabilities and human greed
  • The most in-demand are those with "crisis combat experience"

Truth Hunters: The New Battlefield for Web3 Reporters

Um... by the way, have you noticed? Serious Reporter Recruitment positions are now requiring Solidity basics. Sarah, whom I met in Seoul last year, now specializes in investigating cross-chain bridge attacks. She says it's no different from being a war correspondent—you have to find the "bullet trajectories" in the information fog.

System Poets: When Architects Meet Blockchain

To be honest, when I first saw a System Architect Recruitment requiring "design experience with at least three Layer 2 solutions," my coffee cup almost spilled. It's like asking an architect to build three different skyscrapers on different planets.

But reality is often more dramatic: among the candidates we recently successfully recommended, one former NASA engineer has transitioned to designing Optimistic Rollup architectures...

流量炼金师:ASO Manager的隐秘战争

你看那个正在用三台设备测试关键词的女生——这就是现代ASO Manager招聘的日常。当DApp竞争进入白热化,他们的价值突然像NFT牛市时的JPEG那样飙升。

市场真相:

  • Tier1项目的ASO专家年薪已突破$120k
  • 需要同时精通Google Play规则和Web3黑话体系
  • 最痛苦的是:昨天有效的ASO策略今天可能就失效

(sigh) Final Thoughts

My coffee has gone cold, and boarding for my flight is beginning. Actually, as I write this, I recall that candidate who always said "Web3 winter"—he later went to work as a governance architect for a DAO. See, the market is always more creative than we imagine...

By the way, if you see a position on MyJob.one for "a smart contract engineer who can write poetry," don't doubt it—this might be a real need from one of my clients.
