J for Jobs in Web3
Web3 jobs are officially dominated by GenZ and millennials.
A recent report by KuCoin showed that majority 80% of Indian Web3 professionals are under the age of 30, which is younger than the global average age of Web3 professionals.
Among the report’s survey base, 60% people are interested in exploring a Web3 career and are driven by the salary package and professional growth that the sector offers. In July 2022, CNBC TV18 reported that three top executives from investment banking firm JP Morgan have taken crypto jobs.
These are interesting statistics given the bloodbath in the crypto market. From Coinbase cutting 1000 jobs globally to crypto lender Celsius and Vauld going bankrupt — the industry has been going through a tough phase.
However, it is not the same for all Web3 companies. Coinbase-backed CoinDCX which has recently raised $145 Mn funding round expects to have a 1000 member team by end of 2022.
Companies like Polygon, Chingari among others have also been investing in creating more talent for Web3 talent in India. For instance has partnered with AlmaBetter to launch Full Stack Web Development with Web3 course. Similarly, it is also powering the Web3 Fundamentals course on The Product House and last week organised a virtual job fair with Devfolio for blockchain developers to connect with Web3 companies like Chainlink, CoinDCX etc.
If you are also looking to learn Web3 skills, here are some websites offering Web3 courses:
And for the ones looking for job opportunities, there are many Web3 specific job portals such as Web3.career, cryptocurrencyjobs.co, and cryptojobslist, among others.
That’s all from J for Jobs in Web3. If you recall any other Web3 terms starting from the letter J, please leave a comment and I will include them in later editions.Â
Until next week!
