The popular Microsoft-owned company LinkedIn, issued a report for the fastest emerging jobs in 2018 and what comes as a great information for today’s blockchain news is that blockchain developers are the ones that are among the 5 emerging careers.
According to the LinkedIn’s report, there are plenty of jobs for engineers who can develop distributed ledgers using the P2P technology and the number for these jobs has increased up to 30 times this year only. On the second place comes the Machine Learning Engineer role which is a position that increased about 12 times this year.
Other careers that are in the top five groups are Machine Learning Specialists, Professional Medical Representative, and Application Sales Executive. Some of the cities that have one of the highest demands for blockchain developers are New York City, Atlanta, and San Francisco. The skills that you need to have a job like this are Node.js knowledge, blockchain, solidity and Ethereum.
The Chief Economist at LinkedIn explained why this is the case:
“It’s no surprise that we’re seeing an explosion of machine learning roles and continuing growth of data science roles. In fact, we started to see glimmers of this in last year’s report; however, both fields are starting to see more specialized roles emerge. It also may not shock you that Blockchain Developer is topping the list following this year’s surge in interest around blockchain and cryptocurrency.”
The great news for all of the people interested in a career in this sector is that there are plenty of universities now that adopt blockchain-related courses which help to boost the blockchain expertise in the following years.
