DAO Recruitment Revolution: How to Find Your Web3 Career Destination in Decentralized Organizations

Hi everyone, I'm COCO~ Today, I want to talk about those DAO things. To be honest, last week, while lurking in the Aavegotchi DAO recruitment Slack group, I was holding a lukewarm latte and staring blankly for a long time. You know?

Hey everyone, I'm COCO~ Today, I want to chat about those DAO things!

To be honest, last week I was lurking in the Aavegotchi DAO recruitment Slack group, sipping on a lukewarm latte for what felt like an eternity. You know? Those discussions about decentralized organizations governance reminded me of the excitement I felt three years ago when I first got into blockchain.

Oh, how time flies. Now, the job descriptions for MetaCartel recruitment even require "proficiency in managing multi-signature wallets," which was still a niche skill back in 2019. Thinking back, the changes in the DAO world are like the Shanghai Metro Line 2—you never know how many new faces will get on at the next stop.

Chapter 1: Why is DAO reshaping the recruitment market?

This morning, while flipping through the data on MyJob.one's backend, I noticed that searches related to RaidGuild recruitment had increased by 470% over the past six months. Hmm... this number left me a bit stunned, but upon reflection, it wasn't entirely surprising.

Recently, I met a candidate named Alex who's quite interesting. He was originally working in traditional finance as a risk manager, but last year he accidentally participated in community voting for Moloch DAO recruitment, and now he's fully transitioned into a career as a DAO governance expert. In his own words: "It's like suddenly discovering that the last subway train is actually heading to a new continent."

Chapter 2: Unveiling the hiring preferences of mainstream DAOs

Last week, while having coffee with the recruitment lead of Aavegotchi DAO recruitment, he mentioned an interesting phenomenon: they're not short of developers, but rather "storytellers" who can write compelling proposals. You know? A well-crafted governance proposal is like... well... like adding AR navigation to a subway map—it needs to make even retail investors understand complex economic models.

Meanwhile, MetaCartel recruitment is even more unique: they're currently seeking community operators skilled in Discord data analysis. To be honest, when I first saw this job description, I thought I might be seeing things—it's basically just applying traditional CRM skills to Web3!

  • Moloch DAO recruitment trend: Prefers financial specialists with experience in non-profit projects
  • RaidGuild recruitment characteristic: Urgently needs project managers capable of coordinating across time zones
  • Aavegotchi DAO recruitment new developments: High demand for NFT gamification design talent

Chapter 3: How to build a career advantage in the DAO world?

Ugh, this question has been asked of me too many times. Last month, at a conference in Berlin, a leather-jacketed developer intercepted me and asked: "COCO, is it still worth learning Solidity now?" At the time, a demo of ZK-Rollup was playing on a large screen behind us, and the background noise was so loud I almost didn't hear him.

Thinking back, my advice might have been a bit too formal. Actually, making a name for yourself in a decentralized organization doesn't necessarily require becoming a tech genius. Take the recent RaidGuild recruitment case: the candidate who ultimately got the job had the most impressive skill being... proficient in using Notion to create workflow diagrams!

  1. Start as a "lurker" for three months: Participate in community discussions but refrain from speaking
  2. Find a specific niche to contribute to (e.g., translating documentation)
  3. Gradually participate in governance voting to build your reputation score
  4. Try writing improvement proposals (even something as simple as managing the emoji section)

Chapter 4: The 2023 DAO job compensation landscape

To be honest, compiling this data made my hands shake. One core developer position listed by Moloch DAO recruitment offered an annual salary equivalent to $350,000 in fiat currency... Oh, and that's before even considering token incentives.

However, in the latest report from MyJob.one, there's an even more astonishing discovery: Community moderators at Aavegotchi DAO recruitment earn between $12 and $15 per hour, with flexible working hours. This reminded me of a conversation I overheard on the subway yesterday between two students: "I should've practiced Discord bot development more back then..."

Conclusion: Honest advice for DAO job seekers

As I was writing this, I suddenly felt a bit reflective. Last week, a fresh graduate named Xiaoyu asked me: "COCO, is it too late to jump in now?" At that moment, a subway train was pulling into the station outside my window, and I said: "Look at these carriages—the passengers on the first and last trains see the same sunrise."

Actually, what's most fascinating about decentralized organizations is that they always leave room for newcomers. Just like the MetaCartel recruitment page says: "We're not hiring employees; we're seeking fellow explorers to co-create the map."

Well... this piece has gotten a bit long. To wrap up, I'll share a little secret: try searching for "DAO" on MyJob.one with different sorting options—some hidden gem positions are buried deep on the third page!
