Is Blockchain a Good Career?

[cabron]

Blockchain skill would give a bright future for anyone who learned it. You can create a contract of your own as long as you are good at it.

Because of the lockdown I think many of us would have to look for careers online and perhaps watching video tutorials to learn career path. There are dozens of video tutorials for blockchain developers in udemy I guess due to lockdown we all have time to watch them as well. I might try if I just have the chance. Being jobless this time however forces many people to work instead or get busy doing something else than learning something.

At this point, you have to invest about 20 weeks or so part time at least to let the concepts of BTC sink is and be come conversant with

keys/private keys

Change addresses

how to secure and back up btc

how to deal with other cryptos

how to deal with good and bad exchanges

how to understand basic metrics

be scammed out of about 5% of your Crypto investment by the failure of the exchange, yourself or other error.

how to dump various wallets using pywallet etc

how to run secure computers

how to become os/computer agnostic  and back up essential files.

how to have back up systems

sift through trading options

come to terms with big block and small block arguments

deal with forks

then you have to spend every so many weeks a refresher so that you remember how to access everything again.

have a passing understanding of hash rate/miners incentive/ pow / pos options

understand the main classes of crypto.

buy and play with some dogecoin (probably the best crypto to mess around with because its cheap per unit and you can learn a lot and use on a lot of exchanges)

Read through how exchanges and wallets scammed people, failed or had bugs

Get a VPN that's good

Buy a NAS.

Have a passing understanding of the codebase (generic over view is ok)

It takes some time.

I have Met some people that has been successful in Blockchain world
and they dedicated whole of their time doing stuffs
 in this technology and yeah this is a good career but the problem is
 this needs skills and Knowledge ,also this is not
that easy job so better find way in proper way than just asking about
peoples word here.also try to invest not only time
but also Money inside crypto.

While companies are interested in this technology, blockchain as a career sounds good.

It just doesn't sound good but it actually is. This article may look a bit old and around 2 years ago but that's during the bear market. And this statement came from LinkedIn, a well-known career platform.

LinkedIn: 'Blockchain developer' is the No. 1 emerging job

So, if it was trending during the bear market how much more when the market looks healthy.

[finaleshot2016]

Of course, being a developer of blockchain is in high demand as it is not only important in the cryptocurrency. Blockchain is currently being used as one of the largest blockchain networks in different fields, such as finance, politics, and technology.

Blockchain is the mainstream when it comes to a network so we can quickly build different A.I. Usage of proprietary and open-source data from the system. Therefore, technology is going to advance and develop really fast as blockchain adaptation occurs in various aspects.

[Pixyoxx]

Without any doubt blockchain is a very good career option to go for salaries are very high somewhere around 50k dollars if you are good at it and the opportunities are also high they recruit people very often if you are good at ui designing, coding and other skills needed for blockchain and a lil bit of experience you'll get a good pakage annually so Yeah it is a very good option to go for!

[buwaytress]

Sharing my experience. The stats aren't lying, but they're missing a lot of context. Blockchain developers were and still are a rarity. The very best are already employed and the upcoming ones are snapped up, supply vs demand is what drives salaries. Same as C-level positions.

But coming down to all the regular stuff. Tech support, marketing and communications, legal and tax, HR, etc. They're all tech industry standard.

[xiboothrezi]

Of course, pursuing a career in the blockchain is very promising. Jobs that require technical skills and experience are definitely in high demand, especially in new and growing fields, such as the blockchain. I plan to direct my child's education in this field so that he can take good opportunities from this job.

At last but not least, comes jobs at government institutions. You might not get the best salaries here but as you know govt. Jobs have their own benefits. The salary packages offered at govt. Institutions are even less than startup firms.

I changed my mind about the ideal job after learning about cryptocurrency. In the past, I really wanted to be a civil servant, with a fixed salary and a pension. Eventually, I realized, being an employee had many challenges, arranged working hours, assignments, deadlines, etc. resulting in a lack of time flexibility. It's a matter of taste, I just convey my point of view. While I like freedom, so I choose to resign and focus in the crypto world. I really enjoy this self employee, having flexible working hours with job responsibilities that I can set myself. One time, with the capital that I gathered, I also wanted to become an investor and business owner, not working for money anymore, but money working for me.

I don't know if you can technically call "blockchain" a career, but I can tell you that getting in to coding can lead in to a very promising career that can come at a cross section with blockchain and cryptocurrency technology.  Today that job market for many careers is over saturated. I've worked with quite a few job recruiters over the years and they're constantly talking about how smart it is to put your children in coding and pc programming classes early in their lives.  When cryptocurrency reach mainstream, this type of coding/pc programming knowledge really opened up a lot of opportunities for those with the skills already to fill them.

No doubt, blockchain has brought lot of benefits to the world and among those benefits is a career where high skill individuals gets to earn decent income but to be honest, jobs and careers that comes with blockchain projects and companies requires high skill individuals as most of them seems to be a high level programming jobs which just few percent of the world's  population  knows much about. I think there's isn't much of a career for anyone who isn't a tech and programming guy

[Zemomtum]

It will be highly demanded in the future, this is a new revolution and they are currently earning higher than their counterpart

[Flickkk]

With no doubt, blockchain is one of the best careers one can pursue at the time. It is highly in demand and you get to be a part of something big. Not to mention, you will get high salaries in these top blockchain careers. It is due to the fact that the need for such positions are high and the people with relative knowledge are less. Among all the jobs required in the field, only half of them are being met. This means that there’s a shortage of blockchain professional with sufficient technical knowledge.

If we talk about top blockchain jobs salary, it depends on various factors like where you are working, what’s your skill sets and how much you are experienced. As a blockchain developer, you can get from as low as $50,000 to as high as $120,000 per year. Mostly, if you work in startups, you won’t get sky-high salaries and their packages typically start from 50,000 USD for freshers. If you have experienced above 5 years, you can earn around $70,000 annually.

Next comes the high techs firms that offer the highest salaries in the field. Initially, you can earn around $70,000 which increases with experience and after five years you can get as high as $120,000. The reason for such a big gap between the salaries of startups and established tech firms is due to the fact that blockchain developers are more interested in starting their own firms rather than working for others.

 Using both feet on knowing how deep the crypto world is very i still prefer real job.
Because in crypto you can see yourvmoney is losing .so it is better to use crypto currency as a sideline and put 10% on your monthly earnings .

[Debonaire217]

I always see, more leading companies are getting into blockchain development especially IBM. We can think of blockchain as applicable to most of the business, especially to provide secure services and not just only with payments. If we want to somehow became one of the first contributors and developers of blockchain technology, I see there's a big bright future that awaits us with it. Though, it is quite complex that we need to study Computer science or other related computer courses, cryptography, and such, the basic knowledge about how bitcoin blockchain will definitely help us to get started with blockchain development.

There's plenty of courses online especially on udemy, about blockchain development. startups, and more that might we might find interesting.

[pawanjain]

Blockchain is a demanding skillset which not everybody can pursue. There are many companies and startups who pay good amount of salary for Blockchain professionals. The jobs are just increasing every day as many tech companies are getting into Blockchain.
It's definitely a good career if you are well versed with Blockchain.

[Vannie12]

I would not consider blockchain as a career though I see a future that includes it. It is possible that blockchain can and may be intergrated with studies, and careers involving technology may have greater and broader opportunity when that time comes. Maybe things may end up better and progressed.

[madhavsinghrajput]

Block chain is one the top career in the near future.We all know the impact of block chain and many tech firms are already lined up there project on block chain.Companies like intelectsoft,consensys are great aspects.Even governments of many countries are trying to shift there database system into blockchain. So in my view blockchain technology will be a great employer in the near future with fulfilling high demands.

[XenoFever]

I think so, all careers will be worth it from the eyes and perception of the people who love it, if you have passion on your career then you may see it as a good career, blockchain is a really good career for me because it is what we really need in future, blockchain will be really prominent in the future because as we all know technology becomes so useful and powerful all over the world. If you are really into technology and you want to be more exposed to the crypto world then I think blockchain will be the career that suits you.

Blockchain education is very important today, if traditional economists had had a Blockchain-based education and had knowledge of volatility in markets like Bitcoin, perhaps the world would have the best acceptance about the Bitcoin market, However, in Spain they have already taken these aspects into account, that is why they have included in their blockchain pens, the link is here:http://catedraiecisa.etsiinf.upm.es/campus-blockchain/, but it is in the Spanish language, but I put it as an informative means that everything is on the right track.

Well said, and one thing that I want to happen in the future if we will be having a program about blockchain, we can now follow and predict the movement of the graph, if it will only be possible.

[Jorge158]

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology which has wide range of usage. Apparently, it can be utilized in almost all sectors of life. Currently, sectors like education, health, finance, trade etc are already utilizing Blockchain technology. Due to its distributed ledger which offers transparency, Blockchain's utilization is growing tremendously well in both developed and developing countries.

[rhomelmabini]

So far from searching if there are ample blockchain jobs offered by government here in the Philippines and I found nothing most do need the job are companies or startups. Better if you have enough knowledge of other programming languages before you go deep down onto learning blockchain development, understanding logic is the very key.

I actually agree with you and I never regret having a crypto or blockchain career. It definitely changed my life and I’m very grateful for that. The rise of blockchain-related jobs have been unstoppable these days and are on demand, especially during the coronavirus crisis.

Blockchain is not strictly on the development side, but it can be done in various ways such as content, marketing, videos, advisory and so on. Although that most of the blockchain-related companies are in demand for those who are on the development side, there’s still lots of opportunities in the industry where you can help in any way like content, social media management, marketing, videos, webinars and so on.

It was expected that blockchain-related jobs are on the rise and there’s no stopping them even with the presence of the worldwide pandemic because all of the tasks are on the computer and online-based.

We were so blessed on being part of the crypto and blockchain society. Cheers!
