Everything that involves humanity is evolving from health to daily interactions, lifestyle, culture, and especially work and career paths. There’s been a recent rave about careers in Web3 and we’d like to tell you why you should care.
From the 1700s to the late 1800s best known as the Industrial age; Jobs were centered on rigid organizations, sectors, and brilliant inventions by genius minds. As of the 1900s, a shift occurred that triggered more appeal in third-world countries to white-collar jobs that had everyone wanting to be either a doctor, lawyer, banker, accountant, or pilot.
But then came the Web1 & Web2 read and write-only internet revolution of the 2000s-2010s that spread throughout the globe. One that introduced several models, trajectories, avenues, platforms, and opportunities to build and sustain thriving careers across diverse niches. These niches involved fashion, tech, media, entertainment, and many more. If the digital age proved something; it was that anything is possible. With a smartphone and a stable internet, any career could be explored and conquered.
However, as exciting as the treasures of the internet regarding career prospects may sound, it remains the genesis for something more groundbreaking; Web3! better known as the metaverse.
What is Web3 & the metaverse?
Web3 dubbed ‘the metaverse’ is an upgrade of the internet you are using to read this piece right now. In this new system, the internet experience is elevated to a sophisticated level within the blockchain environment. It involves virtual reality, 3D graphics, and decentralization.
What are the career opportunities in Web3 and most importantly why should you even care?
Upon its release and announcement, Web3 drew criticisms and backlash. The originators of the idea and the idea itself received a ton of condemnation and understandably so. People tend to criticize or distance themselves from what they don’t understand and have little knowledge of. In the same way, social media apps such as Facebook received backlash. The same way cryptocurrency and NFTs. But where people see flared flags. Innovative minds like you and I should be keenly looking on for the career opportunities the Web3 experience promises to offer. On this note, here are seven major career prospects in Web3 that should get you excited. Here are the jobs that will be buzzing in the next few years. Whether you are a tech person or not, I would advise you to begin adding skills related to these jobs to your resume. As they will be in high demand.
Solidity Developer
Web3 being fundamentally a tech-focused niche, a lot of the roles that exist in tech will relate to it. One of these jobs is ‘Solidity Developer’. The role is centered on making smart contracts that can be deployed on large blockchains, like Ethereum. Solidity is the term used to reference the nature of programming involved in these contracts. If a developer role in Web3 is of interest to you, there is a chance.
Marketing officer
Although web3 will be stocked with a ton of high-tech roles, there is still room for traditional jobs for non-tech individuals. These roles include marketing and advertising. If you have a handful of marketing experience in your 9-5 job, you can easily transfer it to the web3 space as a ‘Marketing officer’.
