Angel list (https://angel.co) released an article on how to get a blockchain job within the growing blockchain space. The report (https://angel.co/talent-hacks/how-to-get-a-job-at-a-crypto-startup) points out that jobs are popping up like crazy even for “non-techies”. Crypto related job posts have risen by more than 100 percent over the last six months. The hiring market for cryptocurrency-based technology remains relatively bullish.

Blockchain positions pay way better.
Job positions working with blockchain also pay better. What a great incentive for anyone looking to start a career in this revolutionary tech endeavor. Plus a lot more jobs are available nowadays. On average employees are being offered salaries 10-20 percent higher than non-crypto jobs can offer.

Good news for non-techies.
Career-seekers who prioritize flexibility should take note that blockchain-based startups (https://angel.co/jobs#find/f!%7B%22keywords%22%3A%5B%22blockchain%22%5D%7D) are 22 percent more likely to offer remote positions. Expertise in blockchain is not quite required for non-technical jobs like marketing and operations. But we must strongly point out that the report does indicate that potential employees should understand the concepts and terminology.

There’s always the intern option for those who are not quite willing to commit to a career in cryptocurrency.

Yes, we have a number of interns as well every six months. – Brian Armstrong (CEO of Coinbase)
 

Just consider working in FinTech as a blockchain developer or marketing agent if you’re looking for a change. There’s always a future in technology.

Most promising skill to learn within blockchain space is smart contract coding in ETH as this will increase your chance of getting hired by any new Startups that want to run ICO on ETH. There are thousands of new ICO popping up everymonth and as a smart contract developer you chance of getting hired by one of them will be quite high. Also you will be paid handsome amount both in crypto and its own token and you can work from home, no need to travel.

Oh good news. I will say with my friends to apply this job soon.

Indeed. Blockchain and crypto related job opportunities are skyrocketing.  The interest and demand for workforce in the industry is rising. Found a nice video report Interest in jobs surrounding cryptocurrency (http://blockchaindaily.com/bitcoin-price-drives-interest-in-cryptocurrency-jobs-market/)  What I find fascinating is that interest in jobs surrounding cryptocurrency are directly linked to the price of the digital tokens to a report from a leading recruitment website. However, the appetite for blockchain work seems largely unaffected.

Considering nothing blockchain related has ever made a profit and probably won't for years to come, how long are all these posts going to last? As long as the VC or ICO money lasts I presume.

If I were hunting for a job in this area I'd only really consider exchanges or gambling sites as they're only consistent earners. For everything else I'd expect my marching orders as soon as I'd furnished my desk.

Oh, we have yet to see those positions skyrocketing all over the world. I've already found a few companies looking for a person experienced in blockchain and that's quite surprising, to be honest. In a few years, every company/business will be using blockchain technology, so is that a new accountant? ;D

And still if you are skilled entrepreneur and familiar with the blockchain technology you can start your own business and make your own ICO :D

Good they should be and rightfully so!  As more and more people are finding out about this new technology, there will be more jobs and more of a demand for work.
News like this is music to my ears, and I'm glad we're all able to experience it.

Are there any colleges offer courses that are in line with these new opportunities,especially online courses ,this is one area I really need skills

Block chain technology talents have become a professional new high, with enviable high salary.

Blockchain personnel will follow the strong demand of the global market.

Many universities are also aware of this, and carry out blockchain courses!

Indeed. Right now, blockchain technology has an increasing demand. Many countries are trying to cope up with this new technology, even my country. The university I am involved is beginning to introduce blockchain technology to students. There were even seminars held regarding it, led by a local blockchain-driven company too.

Why is it sky rocketing? Simply because we are already living in the era of computers, mobile phones and tablets. The world is modernizing which is why stuffs related to IT are suddenly a blast.

i'm currently studying in computer science faculty and everyone in my faculty don't know the blockchain system programming.
I want to learn it from the pro, contact me if anyone can teach me ( prefer indonesian people )

Because many people are becoming aware of the power of ICOs and the ways to raise funds easily from investors of course that many startups are going to seek for blockchain developers. Thing is that blockchain development can mean many different things including but not limited to hyperledger frameworks, solidity and ethereum development and smart contract development of many different blockchains. Since this is relatively new field it comes as no surprise to see the high salary offered to those who are able to program.

The truth about job opportunities related to Blockchain and crypto is skyrocketing. People can spend all their time, effort and money on this market. But there is also a division that only spends a bit of capital and joins the market on rest  days, or after their main hours of work ... All people learning about this market are excited about Many opportunities but also know and willing to accept risks that may occur.
In the future I think Blockchain and crypto technology will be used more widely in all areas.

Right! Job opportunities are good for those who are good at blockchain. All high tech companies need good people in this field. They will be well paid for this job. Find the best job opportunity for you.

I think there is a big difference between full-time Blockchain developers and the odd ICO expert that are needed to help in the

creation of a new ICO token. The ICO jobs are short term contract work and not really beneficial to Bitcoin, but we should not

complain about that. A job is a job, no matter what it is... right? Our BTC developers should not participate in these ICO projects,

because they are direct competition for Bitcoin.  >:(

Good news that there are many job opportunities for us ;D But it is still difficult for them to hire the experts. What they find mostly are novices with certain "certificates".

I dont know, for me this is too techies to deal with since my knowledge that I have learn here wre not enough for me to include myself in the very complicated part of this platform,I think one of the moat complicated things, but I am very willing to learn but the people who offers free education regarding this things were limited and usually far away.

This was expected since people were going to get early movers advantage. Just like jobs skyrocketed when computer was launched, in the same ways jobs are going to skyrocket for this technology. Wait for banks to use blockchain in their system and we would see even more surge in the number of job opportunities for the people.

Same happened with Android Developers as well. Back then, the people who could code in Java for Android were hired for pretty great salaries. Also the people who learnt digital marketing at early age have made a fortune from freelance portals like upwork.

There are lots of demand in the market especially for techies who are well conversant with the technology running Blockchain. we always knew that that is a gap in the crypto sphere and the  early are currently reaping huge. The most sought after skills are coding especially one involving smart contracts

I have seen lots of people curious about blockchain domain as well as in my company. Most of the technologies already exists or most of the solution acquiring blockchain technology . It’s becoming like mobile developer era in 2010 and 2011 now lots required blockchain developers.

Because the market creates demand and then a proposal appears. The more new companies are launched on the market, the more work appears.

This goes to show that crypto isn't all bad news. Every country would love to boost employment rates so having a new fintech company start up and employ people will help to improve figures and reduce unemployment. Paying taxes is another question entirely ;D

Good this is the only way to get crypto to the next level. You know it won't be governments and nation states alike spurring the innovation (for the most part). I understand that a few countries are progressive in that regard, but overwhelming you will have majority of countries being passive and out right against Bitcoin and crypto.

Now that is something worth reading dude. I am surprised that western hemisphere is getting blessed with such opportunities and surely they always excel in new things. I am from asian country but when it comes to crypto currencies the whole thing is still left in the desert and waiting for the next boom.

There will be time when people will fight for such job opportunities as it will be completely different sector of the information technology and will be on boos as well. Just like internet started in the dark ages, blockchain is in the same period as well and is seeking for the experts to be taken on board. Those who gets in today will be the highest paid employee in coming years. Nice read.

Getting involved in blockchain now would be like getting involved in app development pre 2008. You will be like gold dust in future. Get ahead now while you can! It won't be long before distributed ledger technology, blockchain, cryptoeconomics and consensus algorithms will be tough in universities!

Is there an online course for this that gives certificate ? I do not think any university has such a program yet.

Blockchain technology is one of the  newest innovation which is synonymous to decentralization  has indeed been creating job opportunities in different sectors mostly in financial sectors thus experts in the field will surely be sought after, recently MasterCard has adopted blockchain technology to fight fake identities definitely more job openings and opportunities for blockchain experts.

cryptocurrency and blockchain technology has opened many opportunities to us.
one of them is a job vacancy. many blockchain advisor paid well because their job.

Well it should be expected that such a technology will be utilized to make jobs for people. And there will be a time when blockchain will be used outside of crypto so there will even be more opportunities that will open up.

I really like the Idea and technology behind Blockchain. Imagine using it as tool for the government, let people know here are the funds going, taxes paid by the people. Transparent transactions, no more hiding and less corruption. If 3rd world countries apply this kind of technology, I don't know where might they be heading to. Even in voting, I get the Idea that it be used, in such ways they can track people's votes. Freedom of information to the Republic countries like mine. I hope people here will send out new sprouts to study the tech, I think we are not still late. They could be bringing up new Ideas on how to utilize this kind of technology, and even produce new jobs to their people.

awesome and great opportunity for Crypto fanatics. is there links to this?

Job postings about blockchain-related jobs are experiencing a drastic increase, the increase is almost 100 percent from 2016 to 2017. Perhaps this increase will continue to climb in 2018. And gradually blockchain might penetrate to the government as well. Cause blockchain technology is considered effective.  However there is a chance that non-techies do exist, but that's not much. Their opportunities are limited in marketing and operations. You will have more opportunities to be accepted if you are a developer, because the amount required is very much.

As more people getting tired of going to the office, this blockchain jobs would be attractive especially that you can work remotely so someone who is sick of having workmates breathing in their neck every day would be willing to have this job. Even myself, I would be willing to work remotely that to travel to office every day because I can still do what I want without anyone bothering me. This is also a good opportunity to learn blockchain because it would be a big industry and eventually maybe all businesses would adopt this kind of technology in the future so it would be an advantage for me if I learn it in advance.

yes there are drastic increases in the blockchain jobs but dont you thinks most of them are tedious to come by? and some is just to enrich there own pockets?

brilliant Ideas sir, but dont you think that it is the same we that brings and implement these ideas that will still corrupt it? Only if we have Godly mind in these affairs that things will work out for good. Imagine Devs will create and in long term that same dev will turn out to be greedy and becomes a hacker. just my thoughts though but think it out.

This is just logical.
The number of tsartups has been and is skyroceitng with teh crypto- ICo boom and they al ned employees thus new vakancies are created .
Overall this is poitive news   :)

This is just the beginning,  we would See more and more job which are crypto related springing up daily , this is because bitcoin is decentralized and can be used in any country.  Bitcoin has made it very easy for someone in China to carry out transactions with someone from South Africa or any other country with ease. No need to wait for days in other get paid.

Students should take note of this. Blockchain is your ticket to Silicon Valley. Now go find a school that offers courses related to the technology. Problem is, they’re very few.  :'(

The biggest application of blockchain technology is to create tokens, and the actual application is very few, so the problem of employment should not be very large.

If there`s a demand - there will be a supply. Blockchain, cryptocurrencies are among the hottest topics nowadays. People who are smart enough they learned to earn money from using it and there`s an army of those who still want to get access to it. But as you know only professionals will survive in this race...

In Canada, a block-ecosystem will be launched, which will create more than 100,000 jobs and increase the country's block-market to 2.5 billion Canadian dollars ($ 1.97 billion).

The creators of the ecosystem will be the Canadian Council for Information and Communication Technologies (ICTC), the ColliderX research hub, the Canada Blochein Association, and the Blockade Research Institute, founded in March 2017 in Toronto. In just a few weeks, supporters of the project collected $ 50 million, writes Ethnews.

The next step of the ICTC will be working with members of the blocking community, various companies, academic institutions, non-profit organizations, etc. to increase competitiveness and stimulate further growth.

This means people who work in field related to crypto will have unfair advantage in knowledge over just enthusiasts in ways to earn money using crypto.

Sincw blockchain technology has emerged, many people who are wanting more flexibolity in their hours of work consider these jobs. And since more companies are surging because of this texhnology, more and more people are needed to fill up the employment void. My friend stopped working his daytime job and was hired in a developing exchange platform. Many others were asked to join her in the said company.

Bitcoin community is really growing. More and more businesses are getting into it. There's really so much innovation we can do with technology. This is a positige news for the bitcoin community. There's really potential for cryptocurrency.

In the coming evolution of industry 4.0, it is likely to happen that we will see decentralization and blockchain technology almost in every sector. Things will change faster like never before and that will create more skilled based jobs with better efficiency. I agree that those who have knowledge about blockchain and crypto would have better opportunities in the coming years. We are about to undergo a huge transformation after I.T boom and it will be faster than that of any transformation took place in the history.

Indeed good. With the new graduates every year recieving diplomas and degrees but end up jobless due to lack of jobs for everyone, good they have this option. And also cryptocurrency has saved a lot of unemployed individuals from being jobless.

yes I am aslo...but I sugest my younger brothers to apply in cryptocurrency sector because besides studding bitcoin trading and mining  be a part time jobs. many peoples are involving themselves in bitcoin.

I think this situation is only for developed countries like US. In most of other countries, you will get support desk job in exchanges that do not even pay well.

This is a perfect opportunity for experienced programmers who has vast knowledge in  C++, python, solidity, goland e.t.c to divert to blockchain technology and smart contract it is quite interesting to see daily advertisements requiring expertise in those fields.

That's quite an opportunity for those guys. I envy them.
I guess that quite a number of us, the ones from this forum, should read and learn more to have a head start when such jobs will be available in our countries too...

I would really like to be engaged in the marketing of some interesting and promising project) Where can I find such a job?)

one of the hot skill in the IT market is block chain technologies , there is huge demand for blockchain skill set. There is lack of blockchain developers in the world and demand is rising hugely for blockchain job holders.

I am searching for a job in this field. I want to develop my career in this sector. Please someone show the right path. Thanks in advance.

one of the prominent site for cryptocurrency and blockchain developments on the freelance market we can check in this website crypto.jobs so there are many freelance opportunities for blockchain developers

Blockchain really gives more opportunities for its professionals than any other sphere at the moment. People can develop together with new technologies and get a decent reward for it.

Certainly, we are going to see more of this as we go on, 2018 will also be a most defining year. Generally, the blockchain based space is just another opportunity opener for the people of the world just like the internet did some years ago. Let's ride along.

You may find some job opportunities at angel.co / That's true, that the number of the companies is growing daily. Just take a look at the current amount of ICOs on the market, all of them are trying to find some specialists in solidity or with just some simple social media skills.

You can see the top exchange incomes, it is insanely big.
daily, they have volume transactions over $1 billion. if their fee is 0.1%, they have incomes about $1 million daily.
With that incomes, no wonder job opportunities in cryptocurrency has skyrocketing.

what you say about blockchain is true, so far in the presence of blockchain we are more benefited, so we who know him should be grateful for it all.

is very good because there are many people who know about the existence of bitcoin, and slowly people hunt for bitcoin because it is very good for the future, as the development of the times more and more people working in bitcoin. :D
