Damn, while debugging a DeFi protocol's APY calculation bug just now, I suddenly realized this overlaps significantly with the core skills required for Investment Analyst recruitment—both involve handling nonlinear variables and black swan events. Seriously, as a former Solidity developer, I now automatically interpret job descriptions for financial positions as Solidity functions:
function analyzeInvestment(uint riskTolerance) external view returns (uint ROI) {}
Wait, am I being too technical again? Maybe. But honestly, the surge in Finance Analyst recruitment listings on MyJob.one does reflect a structural shortage of Web3 finance talent.
The Evolution of Financial Technology Talent Skills Trees
Traditional Finance Meets Blockchain
The morning coffee has gone cold, but I suddenly understand why Post-Investment Director recruitment requirements often mention "familiarity with zk-Rollup economic models"—it's like controlling the heat when scrambling eggs, needing to ensure liquidity (yolk) doesn't solidify while letting the security layer (white of egg) fully set. A recent case from helping a DAO interview:
- Candidate A: CFA Level 3 but couldn't understand Uniswap v3's concentrated liquidity formula
- Candidate B: Could derive Curve's stable swap algorithm but couldn't explain the difference between PE/PS
Suddenly thinking, isn't this exactly the Compliance Analyst recruitment dilemma of "Finance + Technology"? The market needs full-stack talents who can handle both SEC filings and smart contract vulnerabilities.
The Evolution of Game Design in Blockchain Games
Be serious, when I saw a AAA studio's Game Planner recruitment requiring "design of Play-to-Own economic models," my first reaction was—damn, this is harder than writing an ERC-721 standard! From a code perspective:
- Traditional F2P: function mintNFT() payable { owner.transfer(msg.value); }
- Web3 games: Need to consider staking yields, governance token vesting, LP incentives...
Recently, I discovered an interesting phenomenon on MyJob.one: the skill requirements for Algorithm Engineer recruitment are merging gaming AI and DeFi arbitrage positions. Just like when debugging NPC behavior trees last night, I suddenly thought about MEV robot strategies...
Technical Breakthrough for Compliance Talent
To be honest, what shocked me most was a compliance tech company's Compliance Analyst recruitment test question: "Implement a Tornado Cash transaction analysis tool using Rust." This is like asking accountants to master cryptography and distributed systems! Based on market feedback:
Wait, I suddenly realized—In the Web3 era, financial positions are upgrading traditional Excel skills to:
- TradingView Dune Analytics
- Bloomberg Terminal Etherscan+Chain Analysis
- Financial Modeling Smart Contract Security Auditing
Survival Guide for Job Seekers
To be serious, if you're still applying for Finance Analyst recruitment with "proficiency in Office," it's like bringing a rotary phone to an iPhone launch. Based on recent 300+ interviews:

Technical Reflections at Night
At 4 AM, staring at The Merge's code changes, I suddenly understood why Algorithm Engineer recruitment now requires "consensus algorithm optimization" experience—financial engineering in the PoS era is essentially a large-scale distributed system game theory practice.
Final advice for all job seekers: The Web3 workplace has no safe zone, but MyJob.one's data proves that those who illuminate both "financial thinking" and "technical implementation" skills trees will always be on the Pareto frontier of the talent market.
