In the daily blockchain news, we are focusing about careers in the field of blockchain technology – particularly for blockchain developers which are now more needed than ever before.
Despite the slump in the prices of cryptocurrencies since late 2017, blockchain is a totally new game – and a technology where developers are always needed. The CEO of one San Francisco-based tech talent recruitment firm named Hired, Mehul Patel, recently said blockchain developers are also reaping the rewards of bigger salaries. He stated:
“There’s a ton of demand for blockchain. Software engineers are in very short supply, but this is even more acute and that’s why salaries are even higher.”
The CEO of Hired also emphasised that the mindset of conglomerates has led to an increase in demand for distributed ledger technology engineers, stating:
“There’s a mindset here of taking a long-term view of planning. If you’re going to build blockchain technology, you have to get that talent.”
One software engineer named Dustin Welden, who is working as a blockchain engineer for Globys, stated that as soon as he changed his job title from software engineer to principal blockchain engineer, he began to receive more job requests and invites from both startups in the field and major conglomerates.
In an interview with CNBC, Welden said:
“When my title became ‘principal blockchain engineer,’ it became relentless. I get interview requests every day on LinkedIn now.”
So, it is safe to say that the rise of the ICO market and the startup space led the demand for blockchain developers – and that it will continue to shape up like this in the future.
