When "Decentralization" Meets "Privacy Technology": Structural Changes in the Web3 Talent MarketI must say, last week at the Web3 Summit in Lisbon, I was holding a coffee and walked around the exhibition hall three times, and I noticed an interesting phenomenon: almost every exhibitor's recruitment posters emphasized two words: decentralization and privacy technology...

It reminds me of Wall Street in 2008... essentially, the current frenzy in the Web3 talent market brings to mind the Wall Street before the 2008 financial crisis. The demand for Digital Marketing Manager positions has surged just like the derivatives traders back then, Fro...

Debugging Solidity at 3 AM and DAO Recruitment Post. Damn, while debugging a DAO governance contract last night, I suddenly discovered a critical bug in the voting logic—this exactly mirrors the challenges I'm facing with DAOhaus recruitment now. Seriously, you know how hard it is to find someone who understands on-chain...

Frankly speaking, the Web3 talent market is more complex than you might imagine. On Thursday morning at 2 a.m., I witnessed an interesting scene at a coffee shop in Singapore Bayshore — three Web3 recruitment managers from different fields were arguing heatedly about the salary standards for Penetration Testers.

Let me recall the 2008 Wall Street revolution. Reflecting on the past three market cycles, the rise of decentralized autonomous organizations reminds me of the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis in Wall Street.

At 3 a.m., the philosophy of smart contracts and fried eggs—I swear, while debugging a DeFi liquidation module last night, I suddenly thought it was exactly like frying a pancake!

Thoughts at 3 AM: Why is hiring a Head of Ecosystem harder than writing smart contracts? Damn, just now while debugging a gas optimization issue for a cross-chain bridge, I suddenly realized—finding a qualified Head of Ecosystem is almost as tough as solving EV...

Damn, at three in the morning dealing with a gas fee optimization issue for a decentralized finance protocol, I suddenly thought it was exactly like the strategy OpenSea uses for recruitment—both are about squeezing out the maximum value from limited resources. Wait, let me finish this damn iced coffee first...

The Dawn of Management in Web3 EnterprisesFrankly speaking, last week, while I stood in the corner holding that already cooled black coffee and observing the scene at the Hong Kong Web3 Summit, I suddenly realized an interesting phenomenon—the proportion of attendees with positions above Sr. Manager increased by 37% compared to last year. You...

The Web3 recruitment trends I've observed: cultural fit has become a core competitiveness. In the community, I've noticed an interesting phenomenon: projects that successfully attract top Sales Managers and Lead Engineers often exhibit extremely distinct cultural traits...

Wednesday afternoon observation: Structural changes in the Web3 executive talent market, to be honest, I just finished a Zoom call with an Ethereum infrastructure startup in Berlin, who are looking for a Sr. Manager to handle Deal Desk - INTL...

Wow! The Web3 recruitment market is undergoing interesting changes. Guess what? I just attended an Ethereum recruitment AMA and found out that top projects are desperately competing for consensus mechanism experts! It's fascinating. Apparently, the most scarce Web3 talent in 2023 isn't Solidity...
