What are Crypto and Web3 jobs?

Web3 jobs encompass roles within the evolving digital realm of Web3, which includes blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, decentralized applications, and innovative models of digital ownership and governance. These positions cover a broad spectrum, ranging from blockchain developers and crypto analysts to smart contract engineers, community managers, marketing experts, and beyond.

The defining feature of Web3 jobs is their emphasis on decentralized technologies and forward-thinking solutions, representing the transition towards more open, secure, and transparent digital environments. These roles often involve utilizing blockchain and cryptography to build, manage, or enhance digital products, services, or platforms.

How much does a Web3 specialist earn?

The salary of a Web3 specialist can vary significantly based on experience, location, skillset, and the nature of the job. On average, Web3 specialists earn between $60,000 and $150,000 per year or more. Entry-level roles tend to fall on the lower end of this range, while seasoned professionals like blockchain developers or crypto analysts can earn higher wages.

To get an accurate understanding of a Web3 specialist's salary, one must consider the current job market, level of expertise, and the compensation package offered by the employer.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

We believe that a niche environment specialized in Blockchain/Web3 talent will bring a lot of engagement with these users and will attract companies interested in finding, hiring and relating to these people.

We observed that niche environments form large tribes that connect with the target audience and thus attract greater engagement in the use of the platform, bringing real gains and a lot of value to the entire market.

Marketing Assistant

Founder of an Education startup in 2021 in São Paulo from an insight that our current teaching model is not aligned with the needs that the job market needs.

Today, my biggest motivation comes from showing that any dream is possible and that there are no limits for those who really dream big, have their feet on the ground and take one step at a time. We are certainly only at the beginning of a great journey.

Manage workload:

We currently have a team of 7 additional collaborators working together with our core project team. We were able to distribute and organize tasks and sprints within our development roadmap. And we also have a bank of technical professionals waiting to be hired according to the increase in projects.
