16 mins to read Hey, I'm back with you all!
Frankly, this morning while organizing the MyJob.one backend data, I suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon — behind those seemingly unremarkable job titles, there often lie the most unexpected career opportunities.
Just like last week's Bank Reserve Pilot candidate Tom, who originally thought it was just a regular bank system testing position, only to find out it was actually a project for a top-tier exchange's chain asset liquidity management... sigh, sometimes job titles can be deceiving.
Unexpected Gains from Binance Accelerator
Did you know? Last year, a university student from Ukraine entered the Web3 industry through the Binance Accelerator Program - Affiliate Ukraine position. I was quite surprised back then — this seemingly "region-specific" program was actually open to global talents.
Thinking it over, this might be the charm of the Web3 industry. I remember she said in the Slack group: "I originally thought it was just a local promotion job, but what I actually got into was the foundation building of the global DeFi ecosystem." Hmm... this hidden value can only be truly understood by those who have participated.
Those Easily Overlooked Details
- The prefix of a project often matters more than the job title itself
- "Affiliate" might imply cross-regional collaboration
- Accelerator programs frequently include core technical training
Workout Breakthrough for KYC Engineers
Last month, an interview candidate for the Senior Frontend Engineer - KYC SaaS position left a strong impression on me. Frankly, most people see "KYC" and assume it's just a boring identity verification system...
But actually! Today's chain KYC solutions involve cutting-edge technologies like zero-knowledge proofs and privacy computing. The candidate later told me: "Only after joining did I realize our team was developing a multi-chain identity aggregation protocol." See, another opportunity that's been delayed by its name.
The Double-Edged Sword of Pioneer Talent Program
Speaking of the Pioneer Talent Program - Customer Service Representative position, I must admit I once misjudged it too...
Last year, a candidate declined the offer, feeling that "customer service representative" wasn't technical enough. But three months later, that company secured substantial funding due to its innovative DAO community support system. I later met their HR in Berlin, who said: "Our CSRs are actually the core members who first engaged with community governance mechanisms." This reminded me of that common saying in subways — don't judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for job titles.
Financial Roles' Web3 Transformation
Recently, the newly listed Senior Financial Accountant/Finance Manager position on MyJob.one is particularly interesting...
Did you know? The biggest obstacle for traditional finance professionals transitioning to Web3 isn't technical skills, but mindset. Last week, I chatted with the finance director of a chain audit company, who said: "80% of our time is spent analyzing fund flows of smart contracts." This has completely gone beyond traditional finance's scope!
- Need to understand cross-chain transaction records
- Must be able to interpret DeFi protocol fund pool changes
- Familiar with NFT royalty distribution mechanisms
Marketing Opportunities in African Markets
Finally, let's talk about the Marketing Manager Africa position...
To be honest, I was a bit confused at first glance. It wasn't until I saw that the hiring company was a well-known wallet application that I realized they were strategically positioning for Web3 adoption in emerging markets. Later, while researching, I discovered that Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the regions with the highest cryptocurrency adoption rates globally...
This reminds me of a conversation I overheard in a café: "Doing Web3 marketing in Africa, the key isn't selling products, but building financial inclusion." Hmm... this market perspective is probably hard to gain from traditional marketing roles.
Final Thoughts and Suggestions
To be honest, after writing all this, what I want to say most is that job descriptions in the Web3 industry often only show the tip of the iceberg.
Like yesterday night, while organizing these cases, I suddenly thought: maybe we should create a "Job Title Decoding Guide"? But then I thought it might be too deliberate...
After all, isn't the process of discovering these hidden values itself a form of professional enjoyment? If you're also seeking opportunities in the Web3 field, why not check out these "undescriptive but excellent positions" on MyJob.one?
