Is it not time for people engaged in the blockbuster industry to think about what will happen to the labor market if the courses of the crypto currency continue to disappoint.
According to Indeed, one of the most popular sites for searching for work in the field of blocking technologies, since November 2015 the number of vacancies and summaries containing the words "blockchein", "bitcoin" and "crypto-currencies" has increased by more than 600%. At the same time, virtually professionals, real "sharks" with diplomas and many years of experience in our industry do not exist - after all, a meaningful crypto currency market is only two years old. The main players are those who came from the spheres of investment banking, Forex and Fintech-firms. At some very necessary moment, these people were able to anticipate the HYIP and see the prospects of crypto assets. If you go to the profiles in Linkedin of those who are currently engaged in market analysis, trading or launching ICO, you can pretty clearly follow the trajectory of their career development.
In 2017, when the crypto-currencies swept to the top of the financial wave and the HYIP, many rushed headlong to create their own exchangers, crypto-exchanges and conduct ICO of whatever. At that time, any people who could boast of any kind of crypto-currency experience, they took "with their hands" and with a salary of two, three times higher than the salary for a similar specialty.
Artificial overstating of salaries has generated both high expectations and craving for easy money. Many of those who once had to work as an SMM-box or a traffic manager in the ICO team, after such experience, decided to either make their own agencies, or conduct ICO on their own. And, surprisingly, huge queues lined up for these green specialists.
Wild incomes inevitably give birth and wild hype. When it was possible to sow grain in the crypt desert, and the olive garden grew out of it, people were ready to pay an incredible amount of money. However, the market has not stopped for the last two years as volatile as possible. Risks have not disappeared, the sharp jumps in the rates of basic crypto currency continue to shake it day after day. In the light of the last shift of the exchange rate, especially in comparison with the indicators of the end of 2017 - everyone remembers this sweet time, a cue ball for twenty! - The income and degree of heat in the labor market decreased significantly.
Now the leaders of some projects have questions: "Is this person really worth that much money? Does he really have the knowledge, skills, and skills that he so beautifully told me at our first meeting? ". Thus, the fever of still recent times, when it was possible to get into the industry of crypto-currency, goes away, just mentioning the words "block" or "crypto" in his resume. Now, the majority of ICO projects, from small to large, have begun to select personnel more carefully.
Work and salary
Who are looking for blockbuster companies of different stripes? Mining engineers, financial experts, journalists, analysts work in the field of crypto-currencies. The most popular vacancies in the industry now: still developers - they are always lacking; marketing and PR specialists; as well as people involved in investment relations (for simplicity can be translated as "relations with investors).
At the same time, there are no narrowly directed recruitment agencies in Russia for blocky specialists. And all these people are self-taught. Yes, there is also no classical education system in detachment and crypto-currencies, but, as the Americans say, we're getting there - that is, we are moving to that direction very quickly. The Higher School of Economics and Moscow State University already have their own advanced training programs. Vitalik Buterin and the head of Vnesheconombank signed an agreement, within the framework of which the trainings on crypto-currencies and lock-up will be held. Sberbank has long opened a hunt for block architects and opened the appropriate courses for its employees. In the US, courses on crypto-currencies are open at Stanford and Massachusetts universities. Similar plans are hatched in Europe - the University of Edinburgh can become the first "hub" of blockade education.
In general, the forge of cadres in the field of blockhouses is also distributed, like himself. Talents, mostly live on Mitapah in coworking, at conferences, on forums and Hakatonas.
So, what will happen with the large salaries that have so warmed the interest in the blockbuster on the labor market? I think they can also quickly disappear, or be comparable to the same volatility of bitcoin. However, even if the crypto-currencies die or collapse, we will have an amazing technology of blockage used in many fields - it is a powerful, international and local illiteracy about the possibilities of blockade technology that will save workers in this field.
