Wow! A Silent Revolution Is Happening in the Web3 Recruitment Market

I just attended an AMA hosted by Analyst Relations Manager, and guess what? The demand for roles in the Web3 space is undergoing a massive transformation! In my data from MyJob.one, I found that EMEA roles have increased by 47% over the past three months, while traditional internet companies only saw a 12% growth. Fascinating!

Wait, I need to jot this down... Last week, I discovered a job posting for a Application Security role in Discord, and the salary was 30% higher than in traditional internet companies. This completely颠覆了我的 understanding of compensation structures in the blockchain industry!

Analysing the Emerging Roles That Are Surprising Everyone

1. Analyst Relations Manager: Not Just Traditional Media Relations Anymore

I just found out that the work of Analyst Relations Manager in the Web3 world is entirely different! They not only handle traditional analyst relations but must also be proficient in DAO governance and community sentiment analysis. A candidate I interviewed last week mentioned that he reads over 20 smart contract audit reports daily.

2. Senior Enterprise Advocate: A New Form of Business Development

Fascinating! Traditional business development roles in enterprises have evolved into Senior Enterprise Advocate in Web3. In a Twitter Spaces discussion I recently participated in, it was mentioned that this role now requires both technical understanding and business negotiation skills, as they need to reach agreements at the protocol level.

3. Deal Desk Manager role: The Designer of Tokenomics

Guess what? I recently discovered that three different DeFi projects are all hiring for Deal Desk Manager roles. Wow! This traditionally back-office role in finance has become a key position for designing liquidity incentive schemes in Web3.

Explosive Growth in the EMEA Region

I pulled some astonishing data from MyJob.one's backend: EMEA roles grew by 82% year-over-year in Q2 2023! Particularly in Dubai and Lisbon, demand for Director-level talent has almost doubled. Wait, I also found...

The Revenue Compensation roles in these regions are now starting to adopt hybrid payment methods using stablecoins and native tokens. Fascinating! This completely changes our traditional compensation negotiation strategies.

New Paradigms in Project Management

I just had a conversation with a candidate who moved from FAANG to a Program Manager role in Web3, and guess what? In blockchain projects, they no longer use Jira but instead use Gitcoin and Snapshot to manage project progress! Wow, this completely颠覆了我的 understanding.

Wait, I need to add this: These Program Manager roles now also need to be proficient in setting milestones in smart contracts, since fund releases are all executed automatically through contracts.

A Revolutionary Change in Compensation Structures

Fascinating! I've noticed that the design of Revenue Compensation roles is undergoing a qualitative leap. Yesterday, I came across a case where the base salary only accounts for 30%, with the remaining 70% achieved through protocol revenue sharing. This reminds me of...

I recently found an open-source compensation calculator on GitHub specifically for calculating tax optimization strategies for this hybrid income model. Director-level candidates pay special attention to this aspect.

Upgrades in Security Roles

Wow! Traditional enterprise security engineers are completely insufficient in Web3. On MyJob.one, I saw that Application Security roles now require candidates to master the following skills:

  • Smart contract vulnerability detection
  • Protection against MEV attacks
  • Security audits of cross-chain bridges

Guess what? The salaries for this type of talent have already surpassed those of traditional cybersecurity experts by 2-3 times!

Future Trend Forecast: What Roles Will Be In Demand Next?

Based on the data I've seen on MyJob.one and community discussions, I'm boldly predicting that the following roles will explode in popularity in 2024:

  1. DAO Relations Director: Specializing in collaboration between DAOs
  2. On-chain Data Analyst: Providing business decision support based on blockchain raw data
  3. Tokenomics Designer: Designing novel token incentive models

Fascinating! I've already seen several projects quietly hiring for these roles...
