Guess we might see good revenue for these jobs and naturally employees will grow to where the money is.
Interesting times when banks are searching bitcoin developers. :D Title: Re: Société Générale is Hiring Bitcoin IT Developer Post by: BillyBobZorton on August 01, 2015, 04:43:36 PM Sounds like being a bitcoin core developer is a profession with future.

Interesting times when banks are searching bitcoin developers. :D I've seen this before and they are searching for elite people. I don't think this will be realistic unless you are naturally gifted and really good at coding. It takes a special kind of brain to be fluid with coding in something as complicated as Bitcoin development. You have to think outside the box, somethings most people can't do.

You might be right that being a normal coder would not be sufficient. I mean C++ is already hard to understand and it's no fun coding with it. But certainly it might mean that the geniuses turn their heads to bitcoin because these jobs are paying well. Can only be good for bitcoin. |
