Anxiety and Opportunities for Web3 Job Seekers: A Deep Dive into Six Hot Positions

Hey everyone, I'm COCO～

To be honest, today I want to talk about a few job listings I've seen on MyJob.one recently, as well as some impressive candidate stories. You know, last Wednesday, while I was revising my resume at a coffee shop, I suddenly realized a problem—the anxiety of many Web3 job seekers often stems from a lack of clarity about the positions themselves.

Oh, I understand this feeling. It's like sometimes you're really excellent, yet you always feel like you're not good enough. Hmm... let me think where to begin...

1. Partner Operation Position: You Need Social Butterflies

Last week, I interviewed a girl who wanted to pursue a Partner Operation Position. She had previously worked in traditional business development. To be honest, her resume was impressive, but she clearly stumbled when discussing DAO governance.

I was a bit confused... but then I realized that a Partner Operation Position in Web3 particularly values:

• Whether you can naturally build trust in Discord
• If you understand various tokenomics designs
• Whether you've handled cross-timezone community conflicts

Oh, and regarding salary... what I've seen is basically between 80k to 150k USD, but you need to be ready to jump into Twitter Spaces anytime for emergency support.

2. Content Marketer Position: Writing Skills Are Just the Threshold

Speaking of this, I recall an interesting story from last month's Berlin conference. An HR from a ZK-Rollup company complained that out of 200 applicants for a Content Marketer Position, 90% were still writing clichés like "blockchain revolutionizing the world."

Actually, today's Content Marketer Position requires more:

1. The ability to explain complex protocols using memes
2. Using on-chain data to support arguments
3. Finding the right balance between Mirror and Medium

Do you know? One candidate really impressed me—he explained the L2 wars clearly in just three Threads, and later got recruited by a top-tier fund.

3. Data Scientist Position: On-Chain Data Analysts Are Rising

Last week, I saw a data point in the Slack group—demand for Data Scientist Positions had increased by 300% year-on-year. But interestingly, many data scientists from traditional finance actually couldn't pass the interviews.

Thinking it over... it might be because:

• They don't understand how to parse raw blockchain data
• They lack knowledge of special phenomena like MEV
• They apply traditional BI thinking to on-chain activities

The most impressive candidate I met could predict which NFT project would go viral based on transaction patterns... sigh, these people start at $250k USD.

4. Operations and Maintenance Engineer Position: The Most Undervalued Role

To be honest, every time I recommend a Operations and Maintenance Engineer Position, the candidates always complain... until I mention the salary range.

Do you know? A good node operations engineer needs to:

• Handle all kinds of issues during mainnet upgrades
• Be proficient in at least three client differences
• Often deal with emergency forks at 3 AM

I saw one L1 chain offering $180k USD but still couldn't find anyone... later, they increased it to $220k USD on MyJob.one.

5. Secretary Position: The All-Round Assistant of Web3

Hmm... this might be the most surprising. But last week, there really was a DAO looking for a Secretary Position, offering $100k USD.

They need someone who can:

1. Manage the CEO's calendar and community proposals simultaneously
2. Condense Discord discussions into actionable plans
3. Switch languages instantly during international meetings

I once met a candidate who spoke five languages and was familiar with Git... and was later vying for by three DAOs.

6. Product Manager Position: From User Pain Points to Protocol Opportunities

Sigh, when it comes to Product Manager Positions, I get headaches. Nowadays, too many people are directly transplanting Web2 practices here.

Actually, a good Web3 PM needs:

• To have truly used every feature of their own product
• Ability to spot UX issues from changes in gas fees
• Understanding the different considerations at the protocol and frontend layers

There's a fascinating case—A PM of a DeFi product discovered user churn was due to the complexity of the 'approve' operation. After simplifying the UI, retention increased by 30%.

In Conclusion: Anxiety Is a Signal of Change

Do you know? I often receive anxious messages from candidates late at night. But thinking it over... this anxiety actually shows you care.

Actually, the market always needs people who can truly solve problems. Just like the saying I saw on MyJob.one last week: "Web3 isn't hiring positions; it's looking for puzzle pieces."

Hmm... that's all for today. Remember, you're not comparing yourself to job requirements, but searching for the position where you can truly shine.
