together crypto jobs for 2022.
Let's be honest crypto is quite technical so anyone who wants to
get a job in the blockchain industry will need to have basic understanding what the industry is all
about and at this point i'm gonna assume that you know how to open a wallet you know how to transfer
crypto you have a basic understanding of d5 and if you don't make sure to spend as much time
learning about it because obviously that is going to be one of the first questions you will be
asked at the interview how much do you know about crypto but more importantly immersing
yourself in this beautiful world of crypto will give you an opportunity to better understand
what part of the crypto world you want to be working in and where we're going to find you
that dream job now once you've figured out what is what in crypto let's find you that corner
office or more precisely how do we get you on the beach in thailand because most of the crypto jobs
out there are remote so first of all we're gonna look at three different crypto organizations
that you could work for and after that we're gonna take a closer look at all the different
crypto jobs you can find yourself working in so first up we have exchanges this is where
you buy and sell your favorite cryptocurrencies and they usually come in two different flavors
you have centralized exchanges such as coinbase or binance and you have decentralized like
curve or uniswap centralized exchanges offer a myriad of different job opportunities even on
binance if you go on there right now you'll find over 50 business development jobs but the most
beautiful part about exchanges is that they have so many different business units for example
binance just acquired a stake in forbes so if you're interested in publishing in copywriting
in journalism and media maybe you find yourself working in crypto and media or you have coin bases
on brian armstrong just announcing a new company called new limit which is a longevity company so
if you're passionate about crypto and also biotech or helping us live longer you may have an
opportunity there now if you want to work for crypto exchange but you're not sure where
to start the easiest way to do it is to go to coinmarketcap.com go to the exchange page scroll
down and you'll see all the different crypto exchanges just click on some of them and the
career pages should give you plenty of opportunity next up we have crypto companies these are all
the companies that actually build cryptocurrencies or crypto related services ethereum is
an obvious example and solana is another if you want to know which crypto platforms are
hiring right now it's easy enough as well just head over to their website and select the
career page for example let's go down the list on coin market cap right now click on the
project you're most interested in let's say luna scroll down click on careers and there you go or
let's pick solana right now as you can see solana has more than 300 jobs and its ecosystem so there
are plenty of opportunities for you to find your dream job crypto companies more often than not
are looking for technical people from engineers to developers to machine learning experts
but if you're not a tech expert like myself there are plenty of opportunities for
creative people for business related roles open right now so start looking next up we
have decentralized platforms and we're not just talking about individual cryptocurrencies
we have whole platforms companies and exchanges run in a completely decentralized way meaning they
do everything a regular company does but without the hierarchy for instance uni swap and pancake
swap are decentralized exchanges which means they don't have a board of directors like a regular
corporation but even without an expensive boardroom they both still need employees
with many different career paths including marketing including community managers and of
course engineers and developers now some of the crypto platforms looking for staff right now are
actually run as dows or decentralized autonomous organizations which run their operations with the
help of automated smart contracts dows have been popping up around the world and need plenty
of developers and content creators to help them grow their platforms and communities now
that you better understand the three different organizations you can be part of let's look at
the specific job roles you can take on and the expected salaries first up let's take a look at
the roles that center around building showcasing and maintaining crypto platforms themselves the
developers there are tons of different types of developers and crypto sites and exchanges need
all of them they need all of you we've got web developers software developers from and and
back-end developers full stack developers and many many more if you're thinking about applying
for a developer role but you don't have a degree don't worry you don't necessarily need a degree to
land your dream job a lot of crypto sites are more interested in you having necessary skills for the
job more that they're interested in you having a certificate the salary for developer roles varies
depending on your experience qualifications and which company of course you work with that said
software developer salary averages around 100 000 and ui or ux developers earn between 55 to 100k
a year number two we have engineers if you have engineering qualifications or experience you are
in luck my friend because crypto platforms all around the world need engineers they need you
crypto needs blockchain engineers who can design develop and then implement blockchain networks for
companies wanting to break into the crypto space and software engineers are needed to create the
necessary code for decentralized applications such as the apps now software and blockchain engineers
are usually required to have at least an undergrad degree in computer science or engineering in
a technical field while needing a degree does make your perfect engineering role harder to get
glassdoor does report that blockchain and software engineers on average make over a hundred and ten
thousand a year so a worthy aspiration and taking the time to get that degree will go a long way
number three we have marketing there are loads of marketing roles available in the crypto space
right now including copywriting branding seo experts or public relation coordinators coin
market cap is also looking for a pr person the requirements for each role varies but
marketing jobs usually require industry knowledge and a proven track record of success
in advertising or marketing giving the range of marketing jobs in crypto right now it's hard to
give an average earnings figure that really means anything but you should know that marketing
managers are making nearly 150 000 a year according to us news number four we have design
and video now what would marketing be without design blockchain is a complicated subject so we
need people that can simplify crypto who can draw it out who can visualize it so if you're an artist
if you're a designer an illustrator a videographer a video editor or any creative and you have a
passion for crypto don't be discouraged there are plenty of opportunities for you and trust
me you'll be making much more than you're making right now here at corey market cap we are building
our own creative team so make sure to check out our jobs board and apply right now number five we
got journalism and writing crypto journalists and writers research write edit and share crypto
related news stories and educational content with the whole wide world and if you want to be
a crypto writer you're gonna need to get your head around all things crypto this means reading
crypto news this means watching crypto videos on youtube and staying up to date with all things
crypto and once your brain is filled up with all the necessary crypto knowledge there are dozens
of websites and companies and desperate needs of crypto writers just like you first of all you
have news site like coin desk or coin telegraph which share all the latest and greatest in crypto
news then their educational sites like coin market caps own alexandria which aims to collect and
share all the world's crypto knowledge together as for the average salaries journalists and
technical writers reportedly make between 45 and 175 000 a year and are short supply right
now number six we've got business management and development the crypto space needs just as many
business management workers as every other sector starting from graduate intern roles all the
way up to cfo and ceo rose you can find product management people management operations and
production roles all across the crypto space no matter the type of crypto company you're hoping to
work for the requirements for business management roles really depend on the precise job you're
looking for some roles for example like senior management will require a master's degree or
an mba and plenty of experience in the industry while other roles like junior roles only need
you to have basic understanding of crypto as well as can do attitude that you can build up
from there the average salary for crypto business management roles will likely the job requirements
depend on the company and the specific role you're applying for unsurprisingly there's no shortage of
crypto companies looking for business managers and developers right now even your own coin market cap
is looking for a cmo or chief marketing officer so if you know anybody make sure to let us know
number seven on the list we have investing if you have interest or experience in finance and
business in economics this career path could be perfect for you you could partner up with a
venture capital firm specializing in crypto and as you know venture capitalists or vcs seek
out undervalued companies that they can partner up with to offer guidance seed money in exchange
